| My First Phillies Game |
| |
The
Citizens Bank Stadium is home to the Phillies and is a brand new
stadium. In fact during our time in Glenside
the old stadium was demolished.
The atmosphere was electric and I was SO EXCITED...The walk down
to our seats is one I will remember forever. I
can see why so many people love the ball game! |
On
the drive down E.J. explained the rules again and I felt ready
to watch.
I originally thought the scores were high in baseball games,
like cricket...but now I know that is is actually quite difficult
to score a run.
|
Just
when the game was hotting up out came the only mascot in baseball.
The Phillies are the only team with a mascot and here he is...with
me!!
He is the 'Phillies Phanatic' and he comes out at various times and
places throughout the game. He is a real crowd pleaser!! |
We
all enjoyed the game very much.
It was Tom who got the tickets and it was great for the three of
them and me to spend the night together.
Devon was at home with Mom Mom America and Coach!
It had been quite a while since Vibodha (E.J.) had been to a game
too! |
The
Phillies were winning..thre crowd was cheering and I thought that
there was no way that we could loose...
drat...
but up against the Arizona Diamond Backs I here there is always
a chance that you will loose... |
Half
time...out comes the Phillies Phanatic, Shawn laughed so much...she
says this would NEVER happen at a Yankees game...
He is driven around in a little truck and fires out HOTDOGS into
the crowd!!
Hilarious! |
|
Then
the game turns around. The bell that you see in this photo goes
off when the Phillies score a HOME RUN.
A HOME RUN is when someone goes all the way around the bases and
scores a run. They get that automatically
if the ball is in play and goes out of the ballpark!!
Unfortunately I did not see it go off in this game and we actually
lost in the end.
I did however see three home runs back
to back on TV a few days later!! Hurray!! |
|
Junk food, of course
a must!! |
|
|
The Stadium is absolutely
spectacular. |
|
Ah!! True love after
all these years. |
