Tigers Game

As promised in my previous post…here are more details from the Tigers game I went to. So basically this outing started with Trudi planning on taking my sister Teresa and Sherry (Sherry and Trudi became friends thanks to blogs and had never met). However Teresa had to work and thus the invitation was extended to me and Demoree…thanks Teresa for working.

Sherry, Trudi, Demoree, and Myself at the baseball game...thanks to the stranger in front of us for taking the picture and Trudi for sending them to me.

So we get to the Comerica Park and go in and start looking for our seats. Trudi had gotten them from her mom (who got them from someone she knows through her job), and her mom said she thought they were good seats. We were walking around the park looking for section 130 and as I looked at what section we were at and the direction we were heading I was thinking these are going to be really close to home plate. Sure enough we get to the section and it is immediately behind home plate. Then we all look at which row we are in…row 15!. To give you an idea of how close that is, we were in the same row as the guy with the radar gun for getting the speed of the pitches. And if that doesn’t give you an idea here is a picture from our seats of Sammy Sosa at bat.

The only weird thing about getting such great seats is that you sit with the diehard fans. This is odd only because I’ve always sat next to the casual fans or the people that go just to drink. It was actually kind of neat since if we were talking about some stats or explaining to Sherry the rules of baseball (which are much more difficult to explain then one might think) people around us could immediately provide answers.

Then to top of this awesome experience the Tigers won 5-2 and we got to see a homerun. All and all a pretty good outing…thanks Trudi.
