Game #58 view


Panaramic View from the Pepsi Porch

What was supposed to be a day full of thunderstorms and rain turned out to be a beautiful day at the ballpark. It rained a bit before the game but the tarp was on and it didn't take long for the grounds crew to do their thing and have the field ready to go. Tonight my seat was in the Pepsi Porch above right field, one other time I sat here it was gorgeous after some rain. There was a cool breeze that felt so good. I took some photos as the skies overhead shifted from rain to sunshine, then to evening darkness.


It was supposed to rain


Instead I got this great view

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Classic Heavy Metal
Album of the Day

RIOT
Narita

The second album from these New York rockers was originally released only in Japan in 1979. Classic early metal songs like "Do It Up", "Kick Down The Wall" & "Hot For Love" make this album a companion to all the NWOBHM bands that were just releasing music in 1979. Singer Guy Speranza and the twin leads of guitar players Mark Reale and Rick Ventura were short lived as this and 1981's "Fire Down Under" were the only records that had these three in the lineup.
Song: "49er"
