The Ballgame

---

Well after training for the last few days I got to go out tonight. My brother and sister in law and I along with our friend John went to the Phillies/ Mets game. Even though the forecast called for rain we decided to go anyway. We were hoping we would get at least a few innings in but wound up with four and a half which was good enough for a full game when it was called due to the rain.

We got there early and we were able to see the Mets take batting practice. My sister in law is a huge Mets fan. So she was thrilled. Then we checked out the stadium. John's cousin is one of the heads of security so he gave us some poncho's in case it rained and got us some free cheesesteaks. Which were tasty as hell. Once the game started we made our way to our seats which were right behind first base. The view was incredible and the stadium is gorgeous. It drizzled on us for a while but it was worth it. One of the first hits of the game the right fielder took a header into the wall catching the ball and broke his nose.

We hung out for at least 45 minutes into the delay before deciding to head home.
