Pittsburgh Pirates @ Cincinnati Reds Day Game
Day game on the Ohio River.
With my camera out of commission I borrowed Pop’s and took it out the the ballpark for a day game. The crowd was thin (only 11,500 in attendance) so I was able to walk up and buy a good ticket along the third base line about eight rows up from the field for $35. The location of my seat, Dad’s zoom lens and the empty seats in front of me provided some good sight lines to the action. The sun was blazing on me the entire game and I left the SPF in the cupboard. Came out of it with a pretty good raccoon sunburn. The game was pretty entertaining; five to three victory for the Reds with a five solo home runs between both teams, some solid defensive plays, some base running mishaps, some good banter between fans and players and a bang-bang play at the plate to boot. I wasn’t fast enough for all the home plate action with my camera but here are a few images I snapped during the day.
Worst two teams in the NL East + day game = 11,500 fans

M&M's for Australian dyslectics equals two twin bill Ws. Today the Reds just had one W.
Go ahead run on third.
These seats are in the sun and will burn your face. Or at least my face.
Face scars and baseball fans make for sexy ladies.
