FriarFest Recap Thread

I didn't stay for too terribly long, but I had a blast. I was really happy with how relatively inexpensive it was. Although I did pass on the game-used merchandise (god help the fella who bought Boomer's game-used pants).

I took a few pictures, but nothing too cool.

The Friar doesn't like Marco Scutaro (yes, I was the one guy in the A's shirt)

So I took out my aggression on Barry Bonds. They had a similar setup for a batting cage thing. You could pick one of like 20 pitchers. Had I gone in, I would've stepped in against notable asshat Curt Schilling. The fun would have come to a halt, however, when I become the first person to charge the virtual mound.

Padres lockers - Bowen, Thompson, Hoffman

Impressive clubhouse

Todd Walker... who still has the Red Sox stinch on him... sorry.

So... for those who went... what did you experience?

Hey JLaff, I saw you, I think it was on the lawn by the Padre. I though "what the heck" at your A's shirt. I also saw some little jackass kid in a Dodger hat.

I had a good time, it just seemed kinda low key. They really rushed you through the clubhouse right after you get in there. I had fun walking on the field and trying to get the best wall leap photo we could. All in all a great day of fun. How many days til opening day???

Marco! Scutaro!

Hey JLaff...my boyfriend and I saw you in your A's t-shirt today. We actually debated whether we should shout "Marco!" at you to get you do do the "Scutaro!" thing back.

We ended up deciding not to...
