We got to do something really fun this month. Meg wanted to go to a Phillies game before she headed back out to BYU-I so we went online to see if we could find a good deal on tickets. Since the Phillies are not playing well enough to be in play-off contention, you can sometimes get tickets a little cheaper that people are selling online. We found some pretty cheap ones but then Steve saw some that were a little more expensive but in the Hall of Fame Club. He decided we should give those a try. We had a lot of fun!!
Here is Evan in front of the wall of baseballs. I can't remember how many there were, but it made a serious statement. You can see them in the background on this next photo.
The Hall of Fame Club seats have access to a section of the park that has it's own food vending and multiple museum displays and photos that the standard fan doesn't get to experience. Does it look like Nathan is excited to be there?
We got to see Cliff Lee on the mound....nice!!
Evan loved it!!
The bobble-head display case
This was a great photo of some of the 2008 World Series team members in red tie tuxedos.
Megan with a very colorful Phanatic on display
A life size photo of four Hall of Famers....Schmidt, Roberts, Ashburn, and Carlton
A view down the hallway of displays....Very Cool!!!
There were a number of signed baseballs, but this is the one from the game that we had tickets for but gave them away because Steve and I were in Albania picking Geoffrey up from his mission. We will always remember that little hotel room where we were staying when we heard the news that Roy had pitched his no-hitter in the division series. Crazy!!!
A seat from the old Connie Mack Stadium
The 1993 National League Champs
Another big photo showing some famous old players. I think there is one like it in Cooperstown.
Megan in front of the baseball wall
Nathan and Meg in our seats
We were right behind home plate and right under the broadcast booth
We got there early because we wanted to allow time to take in all the sites there.
This is the view looking to the right from our seats.
Megan and I got delicious veggie burgers. YUMMM!
Looking up at the booth...you can see the top of Chris Wheeler's head and Tom McCarthy.
Geoffrey sporting the cool Cabrini College/Phillies hats we got as a giveaway at the game
Nate bought an official scorecard and diligently kept track of the stats of the game
Meg enjoying one of her favorite treats
There's a funny story here.......He does kind of look like a lumberjack...don't you think?
Meg did :)
Nathan, Megan, Evan, and Geoffrey with Steve behind them
Thanks, Steve, for making it possible for us to have so much fun exploring this cool place.
Go Phils!!!!
