It was a leisurely morning today. We didn't have to leave the hotel until close to 11:00. Another pitiful breakfast selection and so off we went after stowing luggage and cooler in the car. We used the cooler to keep Earle's electronics protected since the car would be parked in the heat all day.
We knew the route and got to the stadium about 11:45. This time we didn't enter at the center field gate, but walked around to the home plate gate to be able to see the Nationals statues and history. I was particularly interested in the Josh Gibson one since he played for Pittsburgh in the Negro League. This year also happens to be the 50th anniversary of his election to the Hall of Fame.
Up to our seats, just a row different from Monday night.
Of course there is the obligatory restroom photo. One of these days PNC Park will finish a floor like so many parks have.
And so the game ends up to be one of the longest of the year because of a very weird 4th out rule and appeal process. But, the Buccos pulled it out despite a scary pitching performance by David Bednar.
We had intended to be on our way by 5, but the game didn't get over until close to that, which put us right into the middle of rush hour. GRRRR....
Stopped once outside of Frederick, MD to pickup a drink and snack, which would constitute dinner. With all the trucks and night traffic construction we didn't get home until 10:45.
Baseball summer continues in 11 days!
