What a gorgeous night for a baseball game it was Wednesday night as we traveled down to Cincinnati to watch the Reds get hammered. None of us have been to the new stadium so it was a treat this time around just to go.
We got there early, about 5:15pm, and did a lap around the stadium to check it out. The concession areas are much wider than at the old Riverfront stadium, but the cheap hotdogs have shot up to $3.75, ouch! But that's typical ballpark prices these days. I think they are in cahoots with the movie theater people.
They have those misty fans all over the ballpark, where they have water spraying out of several fans creating a mist to keep you nice and cool. It was a welcome relief on an 85 degree day.
After watching some batting practice from the homerun fences, we settled into our seats about 7:00pm. After the game started it didn't take long for the softball game to commence. It was 2-0 before I could take a sip of my Coke. Ryan Freel made a spectacular play catching a ball at the wall that I'm sure will be on TWIB at the end of the week. As you can tell by the scoreboard, the pitching was bad and then it got worse. A couple of infield errors, as well, cost the Reds some runs. The superstars(I use that term loosely), Dunn and Griffey Jr didn't do much, I believe they didn't get a hit and just got a couple of walks.
We had a great time and I look forward to going again in June with Teynor.
