9/4/2010 at Camden Yards

Jennifer, Knowles, and I spent Labor Day weekend at my parents house in Northern Virginia, and the highlight of the weekend of course was going back to Camden Yards for the first time since May.

We got there early and Knowles and I decided to go to batting practice while Jennifer, Mom, and Dad went to the Inner Harbor. Here I am waiting outside the center field gate:

Before the gates opened I also got to catch up with a few members of myGameBalls.com, which is a fantastic website by the way:

During BP I snagged 3 baseballs, 2 on the fly and 1 off the bounce. There were a lot of homers flying into the seats, so it was definitely a fun BP.

During the game we sat in the upper deck right behind home plate. Here’s a photo of everyone (except me):

If you’ve missed out on previous blog entries, that’s my wife Jennifer, my nephew Knowles, my Dad, and my Mom (from left to right)

It was a great game highlighted by a ton of home runs. The Orioles hit well the whole game and put up 8 runs to win 8-4. We watched the final inning from the flag court in right field, where we saw something pretty cool: Brad Hawpe of the Rays hit a homer to right-center, and a little kid caught it on the fly. It was pretty unbelievable, and it got written up for myGameBalls.com Here and Here.
