It had been awhile since the last time I had been to the ball park and I was itching to get back out there again. So me and Lane made the trek out yesterday to the K to see the Royals take on the Baltimore Orioles. It was School Day at the K which meant lots and lots of little kids. We learned our lesson and got tickets in a section not in that area. In fact we got Dugout Box seats for really cheap, they were 4 rows from the field. They are probably the closest I've ever been to home plate & the field.
We were fortunate as we were late getting to the ballpark because of class (it was a day game, 1:10 scheduled start). However there was rain that morning and on the way to the ballpark so there was a delay. When we got inside the ballpark, the rain pretty much ended. There ended up being about a 45 minute delay to start the game. Once the game got started, there was no rain until we got back into the car at the end of the game.
The game itself was a good one...for the Royals. Aside from giving up a run in the 1st inning, starter Bruce Chen pitched a really great game. And the offense really came through early and often, including a 4 run 1st inning which even included a play when the sun peaked out and it caught the Orioles off guard and it dropped right down.
The scoring got capped off with a home run in the 8th by Melky Cabrera. The Royals went on to win 9-1. The cool thing also about the game was that Lane and I got on TV several times, mainly like blink and you miss but if you pause it at certain points you can make us out pretty clearly. That was cool.
So right now the Royals are 4-0 in games I attend. I joked with Lane that the Royals should bring me on the payroll in some capacity since they win every time I go to their games....just a thought. :)
