Compadre Field Day 2007

Wow, the last couple of days have really sucked. But you know what didn't suck? Compadre Field Day!

It rained on us a little, but that didn't dampen anyone's spirits as we frolicked on the field at Petco Park. This year, I had the photography services of my friend and fellow Gaslamp Baller alohabing. She has a really nice camera and took some good action shots of me. This is pure self-indulgence on my part. There are no pictures of Padre players in here, just me having a blast on the field. The Friar was there, if that adds any legitimacy. But if you want to see a fellow GLBer robbing a homerun, throwing off the mound, and chilling in the dugout, enjoy. This really was a cool experience. And you'll notice from the number of shots that I REALLY liked pitching from the mound. That was good times.

Again, nothing Earth-shattering here, just wanted to share.

They let you step foot on the grass?
unbelievable.  I'm surprised the grounds crew wasn't trying to chase you off with their blowers.

They showed up at the end!
They had the infield roped off so we couldn't go out there, but they still gave us the evil eye so we knew our place. And yes, the blowers were on hand.

and don't forget the
"please don't dive for balls in the outfield" orders from the booth.

i'm surprised
the Padres didn't just sign you to a free agent contract that morning, given your prowess in the outfield spot.  Thanks again for taking me with you!  Santa Marrrrria! That was fun :) P.S. What awesome photography! ;)
