It's been a week since the home opener, so these photos are past their relevance maybe, but since the shots from my new fancy camera came out like this-
there aren't that many of a decent quality to share.
The day was beautiful, if not a bit chilly, but compared to the drizzly damp 50s that graced last years home opener, it felt like a near paradise, at least while in the sun.
James Brown of Fox/CBS football fame emceed the affair- the first pitches, the Gary Cater memorial, and the lineups.
There was a delay in getting the massive flag in proper alignment.
But finally the anthem was played
and Old Glory was unfurled
The game was exciting, especially seeing Wilson Ramos and watching Gio Gonzalez make his first hit. Gio is a ray of sunshine and looks like he's going to be a great addition to the team in terms of talent and just joie de vivre.
Disappointed that the team shop was closed for renovations. Things like that need to be timed better. Wilson the stuffed buffalo ended up with a hat from the Build a Bear workshop.
My next game is May 5th vs. the Phillies. I've never been to a Philly series. Hopefully it won't be as bad as I'm imagining. I don't think us doing well and them doing poorly is going to create a sense of shame and deference in any of the visitors.
