Take me out to the ball game...

Late in the afternoon yesterday one of the partners in the firm I work for called to say he wasn't going to be able to use his tickets to the Phillies game last night (he has season tickets and when he cannot use his tickets he often gives them away). So, at any rate, last night Kevin and I went out on a date to the Phillies game. The tickets are "Diamond Club" tickets and include preferred parking and enough retail credit on the ticket to sit down in the restaurant area behind the seating section and have dinner, drinks and desert. The picture I took on my phone really does not do justice to how close we were -- we were in the 9th row up. We could see the expression on the batters' faces when the struck out. I am ruined for any other seats in the ballpark, I'm sure. The most ironic thing is, I think these tickets were offered to me two or three times before the first time I took them and sent Kevin and a friend of his as a father's day treat -- THUNK!!!-- he came home and told me how great it was and I couldn't wait to go. We had a really nice time, the date was wonderful and, oh, by the way, the Phils won!!
