Rockies vs. Dodgers

Jeff & I spent the weekend in Denver and we saw the Rockies play. This was my 1st pro baseball game & it was actually a lot of fun! It was a hot & sunny day, so we bought tickets in a less sunny area - the sun was over our right shoulders for the 1st hour or so...then we were in the shade - just perfect! Out seats ended up being in the family section so no alcohol was allowed there. Not that I care if the people around me drink alcohol, but intoxicated men really like to talk to me - even with my husband near by (remember NASCAR & the show at Excaliber?).

The view from our seats. We were in the upper section, but the view was still great!

Us - in the shade! Yay!

We saw some great pitching, some great home runs, and some great plays. I was amazed though to see the Rockies go through 5 or more pitchers during the game.

This is the well known Manny Rodriguez of the L.A. Dodgers. He has a .311 batting average & 554 home runs. He came in as DH (I learned that means designated hitter) and he didn't even swing the bat once. The first ball thrown, the ump called a strike and Rodruguez complained and ended up getting ejected from the game. The next day he was traded to the White Sox.

Oh...and the best news...the Rockies won!
