Take Me Out to the Ballgame

When I think of summer, I think of bbq's and baseball. Last night my sister and brother-in-law got their hands on four tickets to the Angels game and invited Chad and I. Naturally, we jumped on the chance to see some baseball and journeyed up north for the night. It turns out that we had amazing seats, about 15 rows from the first base dugout and were able to watch a great game in Angels Stadium, which in my opinion, is one of the best fan experiences that you can get in MLB.

The Angels have a mascot called the Rally Monkey, which made its first appearance in June of 2000, and has been around ever since. The Rally Monkey only appears when the Angels are tied or trailing by three runs or less in the 7th inning or later, with a runner on base. Last night, we were able to experience the wrath of the Rally Monkey (pictures to follow) along with a fireworks show following the game. All in all, a very fun night, and here are some pictures to show for it.
