Professional Baseball in Tampa Bay

It is game time, so let's get ready for Philadelphia Phillies Baseball. We love the game, and it looks like the year that the Phillies will take the Eastern Division Crown. Recently, we took in an inter league game with the Toronto Blue Jays. It was a beautiful blue-sky day, fitting for a nice 6 to 3 win. Our favorites were playing: Pat Burrell, Jimmy Rollins, and big slugger Ryan Howard. A nice win, and hopefully indicative of the season to come!

	We saw some great professional baseball action, including this close play at the plate.
	Ryan Howard got big ovations for each at bat. The Phillies first basemen was something special in the pre-game batting practice as well.
	Nothing is better than taking in a MLB game in an open air stadium. The breeze and views around the stadium were outstanding.
	If you have not been to a game, you should at least go to one. Attending a game live makes the games on TV much better.
	Here are the umpires entering the field just prior to the first inning.
	I really enjoy watching games from the outfield. It gives you a nice panoramic view of the field, plus you have a shot of catching a home run.
	There are plenty of restaurant and concession options at the park. The days of just cokes and hotdogs are long gone.
	Philadelphia plays in the tough Eastern Division, with the Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, Florida Marlins, and Washington Nationals.
	The Philly players line the dugout just after seeing the second of back to back home runs.
	Checkout this great spot to watch the game. These fans are right on the edge of the leftfield wall, next to the fair pole.
