Day 4 - Baseball Again and the EMP

---

Sean has truly enjoyed the last 2 days filled with baseball. Today we did a tour of Safeco field in the morning seeing all of the behind the scenes stuff including the press box, the owners box, and the field. After the tour we headed back into town to the EMP (Experience Music Project) Museum - wow. This is really an eclectic place - Jimi Hendrix tribute, Nirvana tribute, Sci Fi and Horror film tributes, an enormous tower of guitars, an enormous screen showing all sorts of music videos and highlights, and a floor where you can experiment with instruments, vocals, and mixing music. And the topper for the day was our second baseball game - Mariners vs. Orioles with an unfortunate loss of 4-0. Sean got Chris Davis of the Orioles to throw him a ball during batting practice and Drew posted an Instagram picture of the roof retracting that made it to the big screen during the game. A great day overall.

In the press box. This is a spot where a foul ball hit the wall behind them. Netting is a tad short behind home plate. Oops.
