2003: A Baseball Odyssey

This is my new favorite ballpark. Remove the lights and scoreboards and it's the 19th century w/ no upper deck, tiny seats, and green bleeding off the Monster into everything. It's gorgeous, the fans are great and we had a blast sitting behind the pen. Unfortunately the A’s won 3-2 on a Ramon Hernandez bomb that almost made it to the bar-lined street beyond the Monster.

Postgame we wandered by the players lot as they drove off in Porsches, Escalades, Hummers, Mercedes (all w/ chromies), but the best were Todd Jones' Vespa, Todd Walker's Harley, John Burkett's bicycle, and Gabe Kapler's moped. Gotta love that.

Quick Cuts --> Jose Guillen is on his sixth team b/c he's the most lax player on the field… The Wave is for dorks… Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ is perfect for a team down in the bottom of the 9th… We saw Lori from my favorite show, the Real World (New York), wearing an EverythingLori.com tee.
