Finally—I made it to a game!
Comments (0)What a beautiful day last night for baseball!
The Yankees in town and great weather in April—what else can you ask for?Big props to my buddy Pete for heading to the game with me. Pretty much all of my other friends are Cubbie fans and hate making the trip to the South Side. Pete–I owe you one.
I got to the game late, because the baseball team I coach had a BIG win against their biggest conference rival! Even so, I asked for the best available seats and they were in section 155 down the left field line–made it hard to believe there couldn’t be something better OR that they cost $50.00.
Unfortunately, the White Sox bats just couldn’t get to Mike Mussina, who has always been a pitcher who keeps hitters off balance with his change of speed.
Joe Crede continued his hot hitting by dropping a monster bomb down the left field line. It was absolutely a no doubter, and a ball that landed not too far from us.
I was able to move to really good seats for the last couple innings…sadly just in time to see Mariano Rivera close the game. It was the first time I saw him up close. The guy has ridiculous stuff. His ball just jumps off his hand.
Couple Comiskey points:
1. $7.00 Heinekens made me think I was on State Street (That one beer could had been SEVEN at Kincades)
2. I made it to the ballpark in 25 minutes from Belmont and Pulaski–couldn’t believe it was that quick
