I went to the Washington Nationals game at their new stadium in D.C. tonight. Bob Huber and Bunny had an extra ticket and asked me to go. I had a great time, but the Nationals didn't - they lost to the Florida Marlins, 11 - 0.
This was the first game I ever went to at another major league stadium. The outside is covered with shiny aluminum instead of brick. Inside, it's more bowl-shaped than Camden Yards. You can walk all the way around it without loosing sight of the field. We had great seats in the first row, just off the foul line in left field. Matt Treinor of the Marlins was stretching out right in front of us when we first sat down and started talking with us - "Hey, how ya doin? Nice weather tonight" How often does that happen. He seemed like a real nice guy.
I went for a walk around the place during the fourth inning. We came in on the land side but on the other side there is an entrance right on the Anacosta River . The beer selection was OK. I had two Home Run Ales by Leinenkugel. They didn't taste like ale to me. I didn't get any food but there was a Hard Times Cafe there. Natalie and I went to the one in Rockville and really liked it.
