The view from the cheap seats...

This weekend we had a great opportunity... we got to go see the Oakland Athletics vs. Detroit Tigers in Oakland on Saturday! Our friends V and Trish took us up there, and we had a blast!

We were three rows back from home plate where you literally can call balls and strikes. Here are a few pictures from the game...

We were sitting amongst both A's and Tigers fans, but we were directly in front of two guys from Detroit... I felt like Uncle Barry and Uncle Dean (Mike's uncles from Michigan) were sitting right behind me! And then, of course, like any Californian, I had to make fun of them when they ordered a pop (pronounced pa-ap)... they were good sports!

I have to say, I loved the Detroit fans around us... callin' plays, having fun... drinking beers... but the A's fans around us? Drinkin' lattes and talking about the latest gallery opening... what a difference!
