they made us believe there was a chance
Here we are in our Angels red!
A couple weeks ago Caleb and I scored awesome first-base-line tickets to an Angels vs. Orioles game (see pict. #2 for proof of seat awesomeness). We had such a blast ... the seats were front row in the first balcony, and padded! There were menues and waitresses to take orders and bring us stuff! We personally didn't 'cause we'd eaten hot dogs at home before we left, but STILL. We could have if we'd wanted to.
What made this game an extra special one to have good seats for was that it was won by the Angels in the bottom of the 10th inning with a walk-off three-run homerun by my personal favorite, Adam Kennedy. In an instant the entire crowd was on their feet cheering and all the players ran on to the field to dog pile Kennedy. And our faith in the 2002 World Series champions was restored. It was one of the most exciting baseball games of the season, and we got to be there!
We're going to a game next week, Angels vs. A's. If the Angels had only CONTINUED to play well since that Orioles series, the game might have counted for something. But, since the A's are umpteen games ahead of the Angels in the race for the pennant, it looks like next week's game will probably be practice for next season. And, we'll be back in the nosebleed section, using oxygen tanks and a sherpa just to get to our seats. But there are six of us going, and we'll make it fun. There's just nothing more apple pie-American than going to a baseball game.
