I was indeed at the game, well all 4 games to be exact. It was one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. From game 1 when the F-16 fighters flew over head to the ball falling on the edge of the grass as Jay Bell leaped on home plate for the game winning run. I might be biased due to how close I have been to this series, but I must admit it was one of the best seven game series I have ever seen. For most of the series I questioned why the teams even sold seats since we were either only using the edge or standing and cheering. Besides the baseball though, this series helped America to heal. The displays of patriotism at the ball park was amazing. From the stirring rendition of the National Anthem to Ray Charles singing America the Beautiful. It was incredible to see and feel. And each game in the seventh inning as they sang God Bless America, you could see the pride and determination that the American people displayed. Yeah, it was an amazing week. I can hardly wait 101 days, 17 hours, 56 minutes and 17 seconds until Spring Training starts and we can do it all over again.
