Mariners vs Braves

I have been meaning to blog about the baseball game we saw while we were in Atlanta, GA but it has been a long week. Brandon has been a big Mariners fan for a long time so it was a nice treat to go to Atlanta to see his favorite team since we might not make it out to Seattle anytime soon.
We had really good seats. We were sitting between home plate and the Mariners dugout about 12 rows up. Before the game we were able to watch the mariners batting practice and we got to stand right by the field. It was pretty cool to see the action up close. Brandon got autographs from some of his favorite players like this guy,Yuniesky Betancourt. He plays in the infield.
Below is Raul Ibanez, he plays in the outfield. They were nice enough to come over and sign Brandons hat. There were a few of the players that were buttheads! There these two little boys standing next to us and when they would shout out their names to get their attention to come over and sign autographs they would just look the other way when it was way obvious that they could hear us! I couldn't believe that! These athletes are looked up to by these kids and they get paid millions to play and they couldn't give their fans an autograph or even a wave!
So we were pleased when we got some nice players to come over and sign some stuff and get pictures.All in all it was so fun! Brandon was rooting for the Mariners and I was rooting for the Braves. In the end Braves came back in the 8th inning to win the game 5-4.
Go Braves!
