One more field trip before the summer is over. I have been to a lot of Major League Baseball games this summer in different ball parks but had yet to visit the one closest to home. Davis and Jackson accompanied me to Safeco Field in Seattle on Saturday to watch the Mariners and Twins play. This season has been bad for the Mariners. So bad, in fact, that they have resorted to putting up razor wire around the stadium after the game starts to keep the fans from leaving. It was needed today as the Mariners only got two hits the entire game and were shutout 1-0. Oh well, it was a beautiful day and the boys got to stuff their faces with junk food and garlic fries. Oh wait, that was me stuffing the garlic fries. Just a few pics from our outing.
We got there early to catch some of batting practice. Davis was in awe. He couldn't believe they could hit the ball so far. Some day Dave, you too, will pound it.
This is the best catcher in the majors, Joe Mauer, and I caught him doing GIRL pushups! Come on Joe, hit the weights man. 
This was the view from our seats. Not bad for $9 bleacher seats.
Jackson has issues smiling for cameras. This one is actually one of his better efforts.
Towards the end of the game we started heading for the exit and stopped to watch the last inning in center field handicapped seats. Don't worry, the people who were sitting there had already left. The Mariners finally got someone on base in the 9th but our HR hitter struck out to end the game. =(
We had fun and it sure beats doing chores around the house all Saturday afternoon. ;)
