Photos from Game #116: A's 5, Rays 3
FINALLY! I downloaded my photos from last Friday's game to my other laptop so I could post them here. Sorry for the suspense. The pics are rather mediocre...
Game #116 A's vs. Tampa Bay: View from behind the A's dugout where Tanner Boyle has his season ticket seats.
Game #116 A's vs. Tampa Bay: Danny Haren returns to the dugout at the end of an inning.
Game #116 A's vs. Tampa Bay: As great as these seats are, the downside is that the players tend to look down as they approach the dugout so you can't always get their faces when snapping photos. But you recognize the Big Hurt, don't you?
Game #116 A's vs. Tampa Bay, 5th inning: This is the "statistic" I hate the most. It's a factoid, it's trivia. Over the last three years, the A's are 17-3 in games where Bobby Kielty homers. I find this so ridiculous so I took a picture. At that exact pitch, Kielty hit a home run. And the A's did win the game, 5-2. But still...
Game #116 A's vs. Tampa Bay: Hey, you can see Swisher's face here!
Game #116 A's vs. Tampa Bay: Tanner Boyle and I went trigger happy with our digital cameras. I took 129 photos and also shot some video. Most of my pictures are total crap. I should've focused more on watching the game.
Game #116 A's vs. Tampa Bay: These three kids were sitting in the row in front of us and they received game balls from the field. At one point, the parent with them offered the baseball to other kids sitting nearby. "They have so many of these balls already," he said. I said, "I want one." And the guy blurted out, "You're too old!" Ah, my feelings were so hurt! In my next life, I want to come back as a six year old...
Game #116 A's vs. Tampa Bay: At one point, Jay Payton held an animated conversation with Ron Washington right in front of me. This is the best of the three photos I took at that time.
Game #116 A's vs. Tampa Bay: I took 15 photos of Huston Street. He threw 21 pitches.

Being there can be overrated.
More than once I took a photo of Tanner Boyle taking a photo of the game I was barely watching.
