Our first, of likely many, trips to Citi Field. Myself and Jenna on our first trip. It costs 18$ to park anywhere near the park, I supposed part of that money went towards the poor construction of the exits to the park. I used to get out of Shea and onto the LIE in under 10 minutes, it might be trouble to do that at the new park.

I am under the belief that the man who threw me the ball was Matt Capps. He was unavailable to pitch until Tuesday and did not do any throwing with the other relievers when the Pirates came out for BP. He noticed my old Pirates hat and lobbed me an easy ball and I secured the catch with both hands. Brand new ball see?

First of the year, second overall. After BP we wandered around the ballpark’s field level for a little while. After that it was time to find the promenade deck seats. After those stunk we made a decision to try and take a look at the standing room on the field level.

After the game was over we snuck down to the Pirates dugout and asked the Pirates bullpen members for a ball. After it looked like we weren’t going to get anything, a ball rolled over onto the dugout from below, Jenna quickly snatched it with both hands. 2 for us!

That’s right. We both got baseballs. The game was boring, Mets dominated and won 10-1. I will say that our seats were obstructed and I’ve been told that the Promenade Reserved, supposedly like many seats, are obstructed from certain places.
