Red's Game

This summer Dan and I wanted to go to a Red's game and bought tickets for the 4th of July...but we got rained out. So we decided to turn in our ticket's for the game this past weekend. We made sure to get to the stadium early because it was Joe Morgan day and they were passing out free T-shirts...which we wanted :)

They had a lot of things going on to honor Joe Morgan such as the unveiling of a new sculpture, speeches, and having his old team mates from the "Big Red Machine" (they won the world series for the Red's and all of these guys are All Star Players). It was fun being there and hearing the crowd's response when the team mates came out.

The game started off really exciting with lots of hits and runs for both teams. The game then kind of slumped which was boring but it ended with a bang and the Red's won! We got to watch the Red's player who just got pulled up steal 2nd base and then got home off another players hit which clinched the win...everyone went nuts!

We also had amazing seats as it was 86 out, we had shade for the entire game and an amazing breeze helped keep us cool. We of course stopped at Grater's to get our ice cream fix before heading to Marion to crash at a friend's house for the night.
