Awesome trip to GAPB tonight

[BengalChamps]

Rain delayed the opening game against the Brewers by almost 3 hours. When i heard the game was gonna start at 10:05pm i hustled down to the park. Parked for free!! ( My parking spot is a secret) Got $5.oo seats for me and a daughter. Ended up sitting 4 rows behind the Reds dugout. Cool! The announced

attendance was 19,000 but there had to be less than that. Between 10-14,000. Saw one of my coworkers on the "kiss cam". (that should good for some goodnatured ribbing later) Then Griffey hit a baseloaded walkoff double to win the game in the bottom of the 9th. Wow! Game ended around 1:15am. It was a really fun night!

I've got a somewhat similar story.

My very first ever trip to GABP was on a beautiful Friday night in late June. We were playing the Indians. EZ got pounded early and just like that we're down 7-1. We started chipping away and by the bottom of the ninth we were down 3 with 2 on and 2 outs. Wickman was wild and it looked like Lopez might draw a walk. I leaned over and told my wife that I hoped Lopez would walk to load the bases for Dunn...I told her that I had a feeling he would hit it out.

You all know what happened next. Lopez did walk and Dunn drove a line drive over the right field wall for the walk-off grand slam. The stadium went nuts. There were spontaneous high-fives from strangers all around. We all knew we had just witnessed something special.

To top it off, there was an awsome fireworks display after the game.

Good times.

I'd say that was the game of the year, so far. I saw that one at work. Bee-yoo-tee-full.
