First off the atmosphere was great there and so was the weather. The only downside of the night is the sad fact that in his first major league at bat Strasburg doesnt even run out a ground ball. Which he would have freaking beat. :x

Anyway here are my pics. nothing great as i had semi nosebleed seats and didnt walk around to much.

Tony Gwynn was there and he wouldnt sign for anyone. Hersheiser was there and he signed for a little bit but i wasnt able to get him. And a nice surprise was Frank Robinson showing up. Got a pick of Gwynn and Frank having a quick chat.

Great pics Ken. Did you get any of Dunn's HR?


i didnt, once the game kind of got going i spent more time watching the game. i have a bad habit of missing a lot of a game by taking pictures and didnt want to miss any of this one.

Totally understandable brother. I can't blame you for actually wanting to watch the game. ;)

Tony Gwynn looks terrible.

did you see Schilling on Baseball Tonight??

The angle didn't help, but he looked like a barrell with legs...

I thought the same thing. I'm out in San Diego from time to time and every time I'm out there and I see him I think that it is not possible for him to put on more weight. He proves me wrong every time.

That being said, I think he could still go out there and hit .270 in the major leagues.

I was thinking the same thing (as both of you).

Nice pics, agreed it was great night for Strasburg, minus his dogging it on his first at bat. He could have got his first big league hit if he put any effort into hustling on that play.
