Let's Go Oakland!

Can you believe that I've never been to a baseball game? To remedy this my husband took me to see the Oakland Athletics game on Saturday August 1st. Here's the view from our seats, right behind home plate!!!

This game was not an ordinary game by all means. There was someone special, someone who was recently inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame, Rickey Henderson was there. Rickey Henderson stole the most bases in baseball history! And to celebrate this achievement the Oakland Athletics retired this jersey number 24 in a pre-game ceremony and I was there to witness it!

Rickey's jersey unveiled. Rickey is sitting at the far left.

Big A's fan. He walks up and down the stadium playing his banjo with his yellow Oakland A's cape! The crowd loves this guy.

I heart Cracker Jacks!

The A's score four homeruns!

The seventh inning stretch. I didn't know it meant get out of your seats and literally stretch. Go figure.

At the end the A's lost 6 to 5 against the Toronto Blue Jays. Even though they lost the A's played a great game and I can't wait to see another.
