Why my season tickets are close to the field
Foul balls were flying my way all night long. Close to last years seats. In fact, I most likely would’ve been the one reaching for the one that bounced back onto the field in the fourth.
I seem to get a ball every year. This one in the bottom of the eighth. Markakis catches a routine fly to right field. Since most of the regulars in my section were not there, I had moved over a couple of seats to hang over the right field wall. Markakis runs in as he does he looks my way. I do the international gesture for “throw me the ball:” hands go up.
He tosses it my way as he goes by! I am such a kid.
I had my camera in my hand so I almost crushed it while catching the ball.
One of the better moments in a dismal 5-1 loss at Camden Yards. Orioles are kind of lifeless right now. They’ve reverted to the mode they were in at the end of 2009: cruise control. We need the pod people back.
