Baseball season is finally upon us again and since we now live in a city with a professional team we thought we ought to attend the D-backs home opener. Despite the hike to our seats (four rows from the top) we loved the game and the view. The Diamondbacks played the LA Dodgers and it was a little weird to see Joe Torre not in pinstripes and it was kind of sad to cheer against him but we got over it.
When we first got to our seats the roof was closed, but because of the beautiful Phoenix weather they decided to open the roof, which cooled off the stadium by 10 degrees, and allowed for an awesome view when the four F-16s flew over for the opening of the game.
We highly recommend everyone experience the National Anthem at the beginning of a baseball game, there's really nothing like it.
This is Ethan enjoying is very own seat, he was great during the game and satin amazement at everything going on around us. This is the first of many baseball games for him.
We were actually able to get a family picture, next game we hope to be sporting some D-backs gear.
There were three young men that sat behind us and Ethan was enthralled with them and one o them was nice enough to give Ethan his spare ball that he got from batting practice, and Ethan loved the ball.
The D-backs gave a very impressive display for their home opener, Mark Reynolds hit 2 of 4 HRs for the D-backs and they came a way with a 9-3 victory and went on to sweep the series, following a sweep of the Rockies in Colorado. Everybody is looking forward to the postseason already.
