Phillies vs. Pirates

Great weekend! On Friday, we took the family to the Phillies vs. Pirates game at PNC Park. We had great seats, 3 rows back from the rail in center field! Early in the game, Jason Werth hit a home run that landed right in front of us. We didn't get the home run ball, but we did get on SportCenter on ESPN! I never got on for my "athletic ability" but I did finally get on!

It was fun to see the Phillies win. It was shocking to see so many Phillies fans at the game. It's amazing to see so many come out of hiding when they field a decent team!

A couple of other notes...Jason Werth (the Phillies Centerfielder) waved at JoLyn and Jacki when they kept yelling his name. That only made them yell it more...pretty funny. Also, Nate McClouth (the Pirates centerfielder) threw their between innings warm-up baseball into the stands. I leaped up to catch it, and just missed. However, the people above me tried to catch it as well, but they missed it and knocked it down below me. I grabbed it! It was the first ball I ever got at a game like that! Then my kids took it.

Jodi and I also went to the game alone on Saturday night. We rode down on OBL and had a great time together. It was pretty cold on the way home...43 degrees on the sign in Hermitage when we got home!
