Angels vs Yankees
8-8-08 (Day of the Olympics which I haven’t watched the opening of)
Is pretty pointless. It’s a sea of red out there.
The highlight was just being able to be close to them and think “wow…they are really here.”
This is a crop. I was taking a picture of who I thought was a-rod, zoomed in at 5x, but I think it was actually Betemit. Good thing he was at the very right of my picture and my picture size was at 8 megapixels or this would have been a tiny tiny blur.
He was warming up, and I wasn’t really allowed down there. He started walking toward the people hanging out right next to the field. You could feel the tension and excitement as he got closer, and closer…and this lady next to me practically had a heart attack. She was like “aahhHhHh!” before she caught herself and realized that she wasn’t just screaming in her head. And then, to make matters worse, he took off his helmet and flashed a smile. Game over. My camera was out. (and taking the wrong picture but I don’t really want to talk about that anymore).
It’s my Damon! He looks hug-able right? Like a comforting uncle or something. He’s so-so for fantasy baseball but I like him anyway.
“Hey guys, don’t fall asleep!”
“Hey, do you want to trade places with me?”
Whoa lots of people
Jeter was booed pretty badly. Louder than A-rod, except with Mr. Rodriguez, you also got throngs of high pitched shrieks from the ladies.
This is an action shot, although he didn’t get much action.
At least the fireworks are good. They chose Beach Boys music this night.
I didn’t have a tripod. I used my leg.
The fireworks went on for about….7-10 minutes?
Sparkly!
