Mariner's Baseball - Sept. 18, 2009

Seattle Mariners VS. New York Yankees
This was an awesome night....
Sierra turned 20 on the 14th and she wanted to go see the Seattle Sounders, the soccer team here but they are all sold out all season. But my Dad was able to get 4 tickets through work for the Mariners. These weren't just any tickets either, we sat three rows behind home base and got to eat in the Diamond Club and have as much free food as we wanted. And we somehow got tickets to the game against the Yankees....
It was amazing to watch a baseball game from this viewpoint...I had fun with my camera trying to snap series of pictures from the pitcher throwing the ball to the batter hitting it. It is amazing how fast those balls go.
But the most amazing part was that in the bottom of the ninth Mariners were down 1 to 2 and we had 2 outs and a player on second. Ichiro was up to bat and on the first pitch he hit a home run and we Won!!!!! Unfortunately that was the one time I didn't take pictures of him up to bat....

Myself, Mom and Sierra before the game behind home Plate!

Sierra, I, Mom & Dad trying to get a group picture!

I love this shot of Mom & Dad....
It was fun watching my Dad explain different aspects to My mom.

This is actually a shot of Gutierrez.
I like it because you can see the dirt fly up where it hit and then the ball bounce back up on the left. This hit got him to second base right before Ichiro hit his home run.

A shot of Ichiro, the white blur in the middle is the ball right after he hit it!
Unfortunately not the home run!

The Seattle Mariners

The New York Yankees

I want to thank Oma for watching the boys overnight so I didn't have to rush home before the game was over and I didn't have to worry about who was watching them. I know they enjoyed spending the night with her.

  2. How fun! And what fantastic seats! Although I love going to a Mariners game regardless of where I sit (except directly below the reader board where you can't see anything on it!)
