Tonight was the Yankees series opener at Angel stadium and I got some great tickets from the lovely Karen. I decided to take Matt, Luke, and Luke's new girlfriend Julie [whom I like by the way]. It was Julie's first major league game for baseball or any sport for that matter. Weird huh? Too bad she went to an action packed one because she will now be expecting an awesome game every time she heads out to Angel stadium. The night started off with a home run and they kept coming all night. Our section got a load of "fun" too as two people got seriously injured. The first guy was walking down the steps to his seat holding two beers in his hands then bam! He was gone and somehow his legs were up in the air and his beers were secure (of course). The fall was harsh but he seemed alright, maybe just a little embarrassed because everyone was trying to help him and staring. It didn't help that people were calling him a Yankee fan when he wasn't. The second issue involved a lady who was sitting in her seat bawling her eyes out a few rows above ours and we had no clue what had happened. I guess a guy had tumbled four rows down and hit her on the back of the head igniting an injury that was in need of a stretcher! This lady got rescued from the stands on a stretcher. How bad could it have been? Basically, Angel stadium should be ready for two lawsuits. Good stuff though.
That was all the action just in the stands... then there was the Hunter-Rodriguez conflict. It was more like a school playground pushy fight but great nonetheless. They cleared the benches and the crowd went wild. Chants of "Yankees suck!" went flowing through the stadium. It was awesome. Hunter got caught in a pickle between third and home and gave up as he was running towards home then lightly shoved his way passed Rodriguez, then Rodriguez nudged him with the back of his elbow and Hunter pushed Rodriguez from behind and everyone got involved. In the end, Hunter and Rodriguez were ejected from the game and the Angels went on to win 12-1 with four home runs total. Great job guys!! Here are some pictures of the fabulous night.
Matt, Me, Luke, and Julie

Great pictures! I'm only saying this because I know how wrong words bug you...it's bawling not balling. At least I hope she wasn't balling in the stands. I know...inappropriate!
Love ya,
Mom
