Prior to last month, I had not been to a Phillies game since the first year Citizen's Bank Park opened. Prior to that, it may have been 1993 when I went to about 10 games. I've been to PNC Park a few times but not to really watch a game...lol. I went more so to hang out with my brother-in-law and my nephew (who is graduating soon and going to Seton Hill to run track).
So I did grow up liking the Phillies once Mike Schmidt was there and established and since the team is doing well and Still A Stroke likes them, I wanted to take her to a game this year. As I was searching Stub Hub for seats a few weeks ago not believing that all weekend games were sold out already - our CIO handed me 11th row seats right past the dirt of first base. It's where my Nikon and me took this photo of the exact split second Shane Victorino blasted a homerun to deep right center.
My company is going to a Phillies game this summer and even though the seats aren't great, it's free, the family can come and there is a huge tent with food and drinks for us in the parking lot. As if that wasn't enough - the owners of my wife's company just granted her a pick of games and we took a Labor Day weekend game. Their seats are FOURTH row, right inside fair play right field. So, I went from sobbing about weekend prices on Stub Hub to seeing 3 games for free, twice within 11 rows of the field. Not a bad summer. I won't have Dog's food, but I can get the Bull's Bar-B-Q.

Let me know when it's Taser Night.
(Mike Schmidt was the bomb...)
Bluz, I'm pretty sure you already know you missed Taser Night in Philly. But I feel certain they will have one again later in the season LOL!!
Never pay to see major league baseball. Somebody will offer you free tickets sooner or later.
And Fan, you can ALWAYS have some of "Dog's Food." All you have to do is get your dog-ass down to "Dog's House."
