Going in the way-way back machine: home opener pictures

[inari]

This seems like either a really appropriate or really inappropriate time to share my photos from opening day 2007. You decide which it is.

Sorry for the netting.

 

Anyway, I thought it was pretty fun to look back at the start of the season. I for one did not expect the ride to be quite this wild, exciting, maddening, joyous, frustrating, thrilling, heart-wrenching, and ultimately, fun.

I think we traded him for Craig Monroe.

Man they looked cold. What was the temperature?

Don't know the temperature range to be honest with you, but it was one of the warmer home openers in recent years. That said, everyone still needed to bundle up.

I was there. I froze my ass off.

Nice pictures, Thanks!

Wait until you go to a few more. This year was downright pleasant compared to most of the others I've been to.

I have to agree with this sentiment. 2004 in particular sticks out as a terribly cold day (and an awful game too).

Last time we had OD tix was 1998 and my dear wife got us tickets in the last row of the right field upper deck, right in the corner, against the wind. We brought a blanket that we could have sold for over $100, but we kept it and survived 'til the eighth inning. Even though we've got the playoffs ahead of us, I can't wait 'til next year -- I don't expect to get playoff tix, so no more live games for us this year.

 

Thanks for the pictures -- they're great. I like the ivy branches on the outfield walls. I hope we go far enough in the playoffs that we see the ivy turn red again.
