Angie and Mike's Blog

Heather, Dennis, Angie and I were among the 8,351 disappointed fans who watched helplessly as the Shockers baseball team shut down against the UC Irvine Anteaters (yes, the Anteaters) this past weekend at Eck Stadium. The Shockers' season is over, but there's a lot more baseball to be had this summer. So far, we've seen five games: three Shockers, one Wranglers and one Royals spring training game in Arizona. I'll be at LD again this Friday, when I take Antonio thanks to a pair of free tickets from BBBS. Above, our view from beyond the right field fence at Eck Stadium.


Fans attempt to catch a home run hit during batting practice.


Dennis and I had to show up three hours before the gates opened on Sunday to get our front row general admission spots. Although the outcome was a disappointment, our view was fantastic and made it worth the wait. Well, the pancakes the tailgaters next to us shared helped, too!


Dennis takes a punch from a friend after taking her binoculars.


The binoculars were a great hit, especially for the girls who took turns playing "I Spy" before the start of the game.


Heather was quite surprised when I popped up with my camera in her viewfinder.
