So, last week (Thursday) my company hosted a night at the baseball game. Almost 30 folk attended, about 50/50 with employees and SOs / kids... The selected game was a visit by the Pittsburgh Pirates. One of the organizers told me they picked a night when the Bucs were in town knowing that I'm a Pirates fan. A nice gesture (or a nice story, at least).
And a good chance to play with the pano feature on my iPhone:
Busch stadium is a good spot to see a game, good sight lines, nice view of the skyline / arch.... And generally good baseball. The image above is not from our seats, but from the SRO area behind section 346. We went down that way looking for dinner, and hung around a while until the sun dropped a bit lower. You see, our seats were in section 433 which is at the top right of this image. We were in the shade at game's start, but as the sun sank, we had a full blast of glare and heat. All good though.
The image below is from our seat, when we were back in the shade:
Not the best seats in the house, but can't beat the price. They were free to us, but face value was $5 with a $5 credit at concessions.
It started out looking like a dull game, as the Cards scored 4 runs in the bottom of the first. But the Pirates edged back to tie, and the game went back and forth through the last few innings until the Cards won with a "walk-off" home run in the bottom of the 9th. But, truth be told, my son and I left early to beat the crowds and traffic and get home at a reasonable time. But we did have a good time!
