Guests from UK was the spur we needed to finally get tickets to see the Phillies play at their stadium - Citizens Bank Park. We joined 41665 others who were out on a Monday evening to watch them play the Atlanta Braves. We had seats behind the plate but were up very high - one advantage of that is being able to see William Penn's statue and the other sky scrapers of Philadelphia in the background. The pitch was quite a bit bigger than the one we are used to seeing for T-ball and softball (especially the out-field). The most exciting part of the match was that the Phillies got one home run - it was celebrated with lots of music and a flashing Liberty bell. Unfortunately though they didn't win because the other team got 6, or maybe even 7, runs by the end of the 9th innings. One was very controversial for the home crowd as it was scored from a seemingly foul ball. We were amaze at how good the players were at catching. V now knows who Ryan Howard is and that her tennis coach saying she hits like him is not a good thing....... We liked the cotton candy and the still lemonade and watching the team mascot and his antics on the pitch between innings. We will be back.
