Rickey, Rickey, Rickey, Rickey

Here is Rickey perparing for his first of five plate appearances. He would total 0 ABs

Here is Rickey after having walked. He would walk 5 times, having seen 25 pitches and swung once (foul ball). He also stole a base and scored a run.

Rickey could frequently be found giving tips to his teammates. He also tended to find himself a nice spot all alone at the end of the bench.

Me and Rickey!!!!!
After the game, Rickey signed autographs for every single person waiting and posed for a few pictures. Unfortunately, though, he could sign any MLB related materials, so my 8x10 of him lifting #939 remains unsigned.

Here's a little something that sort of resembles what the park looks like.

It's really a cool park. It looks great in the neighborhood and makes a great backdrop for the ballgame.

He was pulled off the bag, I have the picture to prove it.

Trevor Hoffman v Ichiro, two outs, Pads up one.

Everyone's happy - Pads won, Ms lost.

Dinner was great, thanks Bhaskar!

I wrote an op-ed piece on going to the games that I'm hoping to get published, so those thoughts are off limits for posting right now.
