Reds vs. Cubs game with Jeff on Sunday, September 24 at the Great American Ballpark

Here is a picture of Jeff with Juan Pierre in the background on Jeff's left. Jeff got his autograph, but I missed getting it! Juan played for the World Champion Florida Marlins in 2003. The game was great fun and was pretty nice weather with a mix of sun and clouds. It took me around 40 minutes to find a place to park for a reasonable amount, and I even left 2 parking garages!

We had an usher take this picture after the game, too bad I didn't turn on the flash! The Reds won by scoring 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th inning 3 to 2. Jeff was cheering for the Reds and I was cheering for the Cubs! At least we could enjoy the game despite the fact that both the White Sox and Blue Jays have been mathematically eliminated from a shot at making the play-offs. The Blue Jays did just win 3 out of 4 from the Red Sox to move ahead of them into 2nd place in the AL East.


Here is a nice view of the left field bleachers, where we had our seats. But we sat 12 rows up from the field down the left field line after trying to get autographs and had great seats. Then we moved to the 1st row of the bleachers you can see here just above the scoreboard for the 9th inning for a different view. This was my last live Major League game to see in 2006, although I will see plenty of games during October with the play-offs and having access to cable! I had thought of going to see the Indians play the Devil Rays next Sunday on the last day of the regular season, but going to see Carrie will be a lot more fun!
