You can see in the video above how it landed pretty close to us but then bounced over several hands including mine before Cole caught it in his mitt. That was in the first inning after a short rain delay. We left in the seventh inning when it started to pour again. Pretty great day! So happy I stuck with the hastle of getting the tickets online. The Pirates lost the game after the rain stopped and we were long gone on the highway but it wasn't about winning or losing. It was a nice day at the Ballpark - Mann, that feels weird to say being a Yankees Fan and having experienced the excitement in the crowd at (the old) Yankee Stadium. Its so funny. The Pirates havn't been over 500 (in winning percentage) in something like 15 seasons. It showed as the fans seemed completely unchanged when the Reds got a three-run homer in the sixth inning to go up by one. Its a super nice stadium. Because its so small, there isn't one bad seat in the house.
We leave for Salt Lake City tomorrow evening getting in around 11pm. Any suggestions for adjusting to high altitude?
