Tonight was AT&T Student night so we got a break on the cost of Shawn’s ticket. I’d bet good money that they didn’t have many students in attendance that go to school in Washington State. There was also a fireworks show after the game that we passed on to get back on the road. Before we went into the game we stopped by the warehouse over the right field wall and found the plaque commemorating Ken Griffey, Jr’s long distance home run in the 1994 All-Star Home Run contest. I felt as a Mariners fan I had to find this and take the picture that you see above. Pat, however, grew up a big Baltimore Orioles fan in the late 1960's when they were really good and his favorite Oriole was Brooks Robinson who has a statue on display at Camden Yards that we saw and captured with a picture as well. We had worked up an appetite from all of the chicken earlier in the day and dined at Boog’s BBQ named for Boog Powell, famous Orioles first baseman during the teams glory years in the 60’s and 70’s. I had been looking forward to this place the whole trip and boy it was unbelievable. That would almost make me want to go back there for another game, but alas, this schedule doesn’t permit that. We don’t travel as far as I would have liked to as we only make it to Hagerstown, Maryland where we are now for me to send this out. It is a little before midnight right now and we will most likely hit the road around 6AM for the trip to Milwaukee for Saturday’s game. There isn’t much margin for error in this timeline, but we will have an easy and full night Saturday in Milwaukee before the Sunday game.
