You should have been there! We had a lot of fun yesterday! The day started out COLD and cloudy but towards the end of the game was hot and sunny.
I got there when the gates opened. It was like the Oklahoma land rush as cars, trucks and the bus dashed across the open asphalt of the parking lot to find a primo spot to set up for the pre-game whoop-de-doo. The folks next to me were burning cherry wood after they bar-b-cued and now the bus smells like we were parked next to a campfire.
We had a RoadTrek Sprinter, our SMB Sprinter and one SMB van. Our other attendees (who shall remain nameless) came in a truck instead of their SMB van! Oh, where is the loyalty!
The game was great. The ninth inning, as in many games, the most exciting when the A’s almost won. They just needed 6 more walks or a couple of grand
slams! It was right down to the wire! We some gloves there but no balls came our way. The Guinness was good but I think the shrimp and fish combo was left over from last season and just re-heated. We managed to get most of us on the big screen at the stadium, watched Stomper clown around, and saw lots of pitcher and other changes as both teams were still setting the opening season line-up.
