More from last night

Responding to a couple of comments, plus something I noticed when I watched highlights of the game.

Fuji - I didn't notice a first pitch. Being completely enclosed in a loud atmosphere, I didn't even notice if there was a first pitch. I would have been disappointed if I hadn't noticed Murakami, but it turns out that was the day before.

Johnny - this club is expensive, but not that expensive! $200-300 a head, and it's only about 30 people. This isn't an exclusive suite, more like a big restaurant with several large groups and even some couples. Probably 200-300 people in there.

Speaking of the club, it was in left field behind the foul pole. Any long fly ball, like Volpe's ninth-inning HR, we could not see where it landed, could only judge by the crowd reaction. But looking at the video of the game, you can quite clearly see the club!

My coworkers and I are probably somewhere just to the foul side of the foul pole. Too blurry to say for sure, but it's certainly the closest I've come to being visible in a game broadcast.

  1. LOL, The suites at Truist, might hold 100 people....maybe. 50 looks like would be all that was comfortable and would be seated. At least the one I got to peek in (Home Depot).

  2. Is it (the club) completely enclosed or can you go outside and enjoy the sounds and atmosphere?

  3. Oh I see. I was scratching my head as to why he'd throw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium... but I read that he was in town for Ichiro's induction.
