Orioles vs. Padres
Padres Win 9-4
Petco Park has been by far the most family friendly park on our ballpark journeys. We sat in the bleachers which are set behind an area called "The Beach." Our kids had a great time playing in the sand while we watched the game. The fans and staff were very friendly and helpful. A small ball diamond and grassy hill accent the area behind the outfield. There, fans could catch the action on a giant screen. The only negative I could find was the bleachers were all obstructed view seats. Left field was invisible to us, as was the primary scoreboard.
What we could see of the game was good. Like I mentioned it was hard to see much with our distance from the plate and obstructions. The O's jumped out to an early lead but then never scored again. San Diego chipped away and then took a big lead. For a pitchers' park, it was odd that most of the runs were scored via the home run. There was a great double play turned by the Padres. It was a fun afternoon for all 10 of our group in attendance.
