Rockies Win

It was a beautiful day to enjoy our nations favorite past time. With tickets being so cheap, we decided to catch a ball game before the end of the season. What better way to do it than go to see our new local team, the Colorado Rockies. This game was an experiment to see where the best seats are. That is why there are a few different vantage points of the field. We would sit in one seat and than move to another to find the best. Although the Rockies were on a 9 game winning streak, there were plenty of empty seats in the house.

Though the picture may not show it well, this is a TINY TINY stadium. I couldn't believe how small it was when we arrived. Honestly, there are no bad seats here. Even in relation to Fenway, which is a small park in the baseball scheme of things, this was far smaller.

Here we see JJ standing against the Denver skyline. The park is pretty much right off the heart of Denver. Not a bad sight. The buildings are nice too.

While the baseball game is interesting, we all know why we go to the games. That's right, to eat. First thing I did when entering the park, was buy a bag of peanuts. I don't know what they put in those things, but they always taste better at the park. Maybe because I can just throw the shell on the ground. A culinary mystery for sure.

The game was a close one against the DiamondBacks. We were tied heading into the bottom of the ninth inning. Last batter up. One strike. Two strikes. The pitch, the swing, HIGH FLY BALL INTO THE OUTFIELD. GOING, GOING, GONE!! HOME RUN. Rockies win. 10 in a row. Good thing we were there. Probably would have lost without us.
