Nats 3 Yanks 2
Kirsti and Dan treated me to a day at the ballpark for fathers day. The game was outstanding, sort of a pitchers duel and ending with a bottom of the 9th walkoff homerun from Ryan Zimmerman of the Nationals. I love a good baseball game and that was a good one. It was an interesting day as we sat next to the starting pitchers dad on one side and the original and founding member of the Hoggettes on the other, both had plenty to talk about and I think we all suffered from a little to much information. Then as we left the stadium Kirsti recognized Spike Lee and promptly went over to discuss the yankees dismal performance, she was greeted with a handshake and a polite nod before Mr. Lee jumped in his limo and took off. RFK stadium is sort of an aging relic but is adequate as the Nationals settle in to Washington. We rode the subway down, it was packed and uncomforatable with people pushed up against you in every direction. The subway is much easier to find than a car and the trip back was a little easier to tollerate.

I always remember walking around RFK stadium with you looking for the Pinto until the lots emptied out enough for us to see it, because neither of us thought to notice where we parked it. One of those lessons that helps you out in later life.
Via a posting on my favorite lefty blog by someone who was at the same game, I see she also wrote an article about Washington sports fans you might be interested in.
