Last night my daughter’s
choir was part of a group of middle school choirs who sung the national anthem
at the Diamondback’s game. She got in free and parents got tickets at half
price (first level outfield bleachers) through the school.
The game was a barn
burner of a game and ended with the Diamondbacks winning 13-11 and it seemed
like everyone hit a homerun except for the one guy I wanted to see hit a homer,
Giancarlo Stanton. There were 7 homeruns (3 Miami and 4 Arizona) with Miami’s
Marcell Ozuna knocking two and Arizona’s Chris Iannetta also knocking two with
one of those being a grand slam in the 6th that put the D-Backs
ahead 12-9. It was definitely an entertaining game that I got to enjoy with my
baby girl.
Wallet card Griffey made
a couple of appearances but because we were sitting in the outfield I didn't get the best pictures, here he is with Stanton at bat.
Here he is with
Goldschmidt at bat
I guess it pays to know the right people, or in your case, be the dad of the right people :)
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a pretty cool experience for your daughter... and a very proud moment for her parents. Looks like the game itself was a bonus. Shame Stanton didn't hit #57... although he took care of that one tonight.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your daughter! That's a cool experience for sure! I was at the game, but we didn't get there until the second inning, so we missed the national anthem. It was a great game though!
