2004 Baseball

Braves 9 Phillies 3

Saturday Afternoon
Citizen’s Bank Park
With Sujan, Jim, Eric, Amie, Mitch, Phoebe, John Battles

The Vet used to be the ballpark that made me want to take naps. After one game, Citizen’s Bank Park picked up where the Vet left off. This is not fair to the new ballpark in Philadelphia because it is a lovely new park and they still have such a great mascot. But this game left me cold. The fans were suffering from Camden Yardsitis, a bunch of non-baseball fans there just to take in the scene at the hip new place. This game was sold out and I’m glad I had bought advance tickets despite Eric’s claim that Phillies’ games are never sold out and even if they were, he could roll into Philly and get eight tickets together for five bucks each.

Quote of the day- Eric on Doug Glanville, “He was fouling off pitches with the heart of a tiger.”

Hunk of the day- Jim liked the cut of Chase Utley’s uniform.

This game was preceded by a Pat’s stop and was followed up by a Tony Luke’s jaunt and some incredible gelato. Then Mitch was off to the subway before getting hit on by Philadelphia teens impressed with our New York tags.
