This is the first of my revisit stadiums.  This was an interesting event.  My work decided to charter a bus and take us to the 12:35pm game on June 14, 2006.  The game was a fairly slow moving game.  In the 7th inning, there was talk about leaving the game at the beginning of the 9th.  Those of us fans didn't want to, and we were rewarded for staying.  In the bottom of the 11th inning, with two on, Adam Dunn steps to the plate and L-A-U-N-C-H-E-S the game winning, walk-off home run, his 23rd of the season.  It landed about 3 rows from the back of the right field bleachers.  It was an awesome day for baseball, the temperature was right, when the clouds were around, the sun wasn't beating down on us, when the breeze blew it felt good, and 27,000 fans got to enjoy the day.

This is the view....

...from our seats.

Where does that hose go?

The first pitch

From the right field side of the stadium

The fake smokestack in center field

 

You can see the river from the stadium

And the boat(s) on the river.

...and that's the ballgame!
