 This was pretty cool; the oldest man in baseball, Emilio Navarro, at 103 years old, tossed out the first pitch at the stadium. He played in 1928 for the Cuban Stars.

More pics

Entrance to Petco Park

Tony Gwynn Drive (who was also one of the many Padre dads who threw out ceremonial first pitches on Sunday)

Petco Park love

Pretty Petco built right into downtown San Diego

Western Metal Supply Company

Bullpen walking out…to their folding chairs along the right field wall. Pretty scary.

Scary Friar

Friday Friarworks – not nearly as awesome as the Coliseum fireworks shows, but awesome against the backdrop of downtown San Diego

Won’t lie, we like to check in on AN even when traveling – this had me cracking up

AN peeps with the number of their respective road trip games

Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.

Still NMZ.

The Friar is not scary! He rocks!

Almost as much as his Dad on Sunday!

If I was an altar boy, he'd trouble my sleep.

Is his name Lester, by any chance?

Awww...no. He's cute. Not scary at all.

For the record, I got my picture taken with him and he didn’t touch me inappropriately at all! But then again, I probably wasn’t his type.

Bring Jerry back!

Who has the time to have types?

Hi.

I’m not sure what I should post here, but I am sure we’re all thinking the same thing aren’t we?

"I’m Joey Devine, I’m what Joba Chamberlain would be if he was good and nobody had ever heard of him."

Not his type?

Do you mean “female” or “post-adolescent?”

Whoa

A Dogfather and Poppy sighting on the same day. Within minutes even.

Nostalgia rules.

Yes? What are the nostalgia rules?

Am I following them?

Always look to the rear.

Only rule you need.

Uh oh.

Time for Poppy and TDF to head for Buenos Aires.

We’ll be on the lam… no b, …one l, …and one a.

Also, how can they build a park like that without bullpens?

Stupid.

Oh they have a bullpen for the home team.

Just not the visitors.

Nico: Okay. We have twelve hours to make a really big pickle.

That's fucked up.

well, they do have a sand pit in the outfield for the kids

I think they built that instead of a visitors pen.

There's no crying in baseball!

Awesome pics!

Question about Emilio Navarro: Can he play 3B?

by Nico on Jun 24, 2009 2:00 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

He actually can, Nico

And second or short if needed. Just not at the same time.

Actually, his back is 103 years old

and he hasn’t played in a big league game for a long time. He may be Eric Chavez.

What fun!

Was that my empty seat next to you?
no, no, I know who was sitting there.
I missed you all.
How about August in Anaheim?

I think Anderson needs to change the grip on his fastball.
