It’s not very often that we get to sit in lower level seats at RFK. We have no problem cheering for our guys from Section 445.

However, last night — thanks to the world’s greatest boss, we sat in Section 120.

There are very few ways to describe how different — and unbelievable — a game can be from up close. Four rows behind the dugout, you can quite literally, see everything. It was unbelievable.
Our Indians fan, Lindsey, also was treated by her parents to wonderful seats near first base, so more great pictures and another great story are sure to follow this post.

The game was wonderful too, until the 9th inning. “The Coach” was there to remind us to watch for balls and bats, and the Nat Pack seemed to always gravitate back to our section to watch the game. Chico did a great job, yet again, and still wasn’t able to get the win.In the ninth, I said to StephyJames…”you know, Lindsey’s favorite player is Victor Martinez. Steph2853’s favorite player is Chad Cordero. That’s gotta be interesting over there.” A few seconds later, Martinez knocked the ball out for a homerun — off of Chief. How devastating for those two to be sitting together!

Section 120 was unphased. The Nat Pack and a young Nats fan had the section on our feet for a rally comeback.

The bases were loaded; there was one out.

You have got to be kidding. Lopez hit the ball right at Joe Borowski, who was able to get Schneider out at home quickly. Shoppach, rather than throwing to first where Lopez would have been safe, threw at third to catch Nook Logan. Unfortunately, Logan was off the bag and out at third. A dramatic but horrible moment ended the game.

But the seats were still amazing.
