Pictures and Update
Pictures are now being uploaded from the end of the season and also from the trip. I will link albums as they become available, so please look through them, enjoy, and we'll be back at Oriole Park soon.
There is big news about that though. We will now be season plan holders!! We have all bought the 13 game plan, so we get all the benefits and of course, we can now say that we are Season Ticket holders. Very exciting, and now we will be able to get into the entire ballpark at 5, so that means more experiences and more baseballs. FanFest will be on January 23rd, this year at the Convention Center, so there will be an update about that also. There is also a plan to go down to Spring Training and Opening Day in Tampa, which would be great. As we get closer, I will be able to let you all know how that starts to work out.

Old post: StL @ DC
Sorry this is so overdue, but I didn't think we should write about it because it was before the blog was started. Segev and I went down to DC one evening to see the Nationals play, and to hopefully see Albert Pujols play. We got down there about half hour after gates opened, so it meant that we would have to stay in the outfield, but since there was a drizzle, no one was there and we knew it would be a good day. About 5 minutes in, I got a Nats pitcher to toss me a ball hit by Adam Dunn, and right after that, a HR from him landed in the flower pot, and I snagged that one. I was on the board quickly, and we'd been there for 10 minutes. It got better, as I got a few more players to toss me baseballs from the Cardinals, and when we were able to move around, a pitcher, who's aim I thought would be better tossed me a ball, and I ran it down for my 3rd ball of the day. Segev also got a baseball and we had 4 on the day already, about an hour and a half in.
The bad part of the day was that it was raining and it looked like it was going to get worse. Right before the game, I looked down into the Cardinals bullpen, and of course there was a ball. Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina tossed it up to us, and Segev grabbed it. It was an amazing pregame performance: we had 5 baseballs and the game hadn't started. I was convinced that if we could grab a good seat in foul ground, we would easily get a ball. There was no one there. This was our view for the game:
It was amazing-- thats in the 10th row (we moved up) and it was right by the ball girl, where all the balls would roll. That's when the bad luck started. The skies looked great, we thought it would clear up, and it would be fine. However- we got stuck in 3 rain delays (the stupid Nationals ballclub will not cancel games) and each time, the crowd got smaller and smaller. And of course, because we were near the ball girl, she got zero, 0, balls the entire game. So we were stuck at 5, got stuck in the rain 3 times, and were soaking wet.
We did get free food during the last rain delay which was nice, but I seriously think we could have hit 7 or 8 if we had had any luck after BP ended. It was a lot of fun, and we did get to see a ballpark neither one of us had been to for a game (I've taken a tour, which was much cooler than watching a ballgame there).
Oh, and because this was a make-up game, late in the season, we didn't get to see Pujols play, and the scoreboard was a messed up for the first inning:
Yea- they had the Padres up, not the Cardinals. Oh well.

Bad news
Next year, Alan Dunn and Ronnie Deck will be back, which is good, but Ruben Felix, who we love so much and is very funny, will not be back. We will miss him, and hope he has good luck in the future!
