Phillies Win 5-4 (10 innings)
Although I despise artificial turf, I was impressed with Veterans' Stadium. It had a very neat appearance from the outside, and looked patriotic on the inside. It held a strong reminder that baseball is America's pastime. It was dollar dog night, so I was able to indulge in 4 hot dogs for same price as 1 beer. It's too bad I wasn't able to get a fifth hot dog from the Phillie Phanatic who was launching them with a hot dog shaped gun, into the stands.
What a great game!! Our first extra inning game turns out to be the most exciting by far. The Phillies and the Rockies were trading runs every other inning, until they tied it up in ninth. Then the game was wrapped up by a game-winning homer by Darren Daulton. What a feeling, the fans all went nuts. That has got to be the best way to see a game end.
