Game 3

I know this will bore many of you so I made sure to post some Aden pictures too, just keep going down.  It was pouring all day and we didn't know if the game was going to happen but we headed down there anyway.  It was supposed to start at 8:30 and we got there by subway around 8:15.  It would have been a big hassle to cancel the game so they were determined to play no matter how late.

It was still pouring so the concourse was filled.  

We forgot to bring a radio so we waited for news on a start time.  You can kind of make out the rain here.

The tarp was still on.

We tried to keep dry.

Me and Andrew.

Even though it was raining, they took off the tarp and the players started warming up around 9:45!

Those rally towels came in handy to wipe off the seats.

The team introductions.

Now that is a big flag!



The game started after 10, it was the latest start of a World Series game ever.

The game was a nail biter.  It was tied in the 9th.

I never saw this before.  Still tied bottom of the 9th.  Of course were nervous and tired, it was after 1:30!  We ended up with a player on 3rd with no outs.  They walked the next two to load the bases to make  possible force out at home to stop a run from coming in.  They brought in the right fielder to also play in the infield.  Crazy to see 5 infielders.

Didn't do any good anyway.  We did get an infield hit but they weren't able to get the ball home in time and we won!  It was so crazy. I will post the video later.  I got back well after 2 and couldn't sleep as I heard people going crazy on South Street.
