The American Pastime…

That’s the best way to spend the 4th of July. My family spent the afternoon at GABP watching the Reds beat the Cardinals 5-2. It was a rainy day, so I didn’t get to take many pictures. I sought shelter during one of Albert Pujols’ at-bats so I could get a few shots of the greatest player in the game today and one of the all-time greats.

He hit a single, so he ended up at first base with one of my family’s favorite current Reds: Joey Votto.

Do you ever wonder what these guys say to each other in between pitches? Are they making dinner plans? Is Votto asking for hitting advice? Is Pujols mocking Votto’s mortality?

One of the best parts of going to the ballpark is coming home with something. Today was Jay Bruuuuuuuce bobblehead day. We missed out on the Votto game, and will be out of town when they are giving away Volquez. But Bruuuuuuuce is obviously the most popular of the bunch.

All in all, a pretty good day at the park.
