Twins vs. Indians Game on September 17, 006.
Here is a picture inside Tower City in downtown Cleveland of Kwaku and Brian that came with me to the game. This place is a huge mall with a 3 levels and a big food court. We parked in this parking garage and this was on our way to Jacobs Field.
Here is a picture of 2 Minnesota Twins relief pitchers that I got to sign my glove. I got a 3rd guy too but he is not in this picture. The guys stayed there by the right field fence for probably over 20 minutes talking to fans and playing with little kids, they even took one little girl onto the field!
Here is the starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins, Scott Baker, warming up before the game. I actually took this picture from our seat, which was in the first row of the outfield in right center field. We only had to pay $13 per ticket instead of $18! It was a nice seat as we were within easy shouting distance of the right fielder, Michael Cuddyer. We were hoping to catch a home run ball, but unfortunately there were none hit in the entire game.
This picture is slightly grainy because I took it at full zoom from the right field bleachers, and this is a batter on the Indians hitting the ground getting out of the way from a fastball from the Twin's Baker. For a pitcher with a 4-8 record and an ERA of over 6.00 entering the contest, he pitched a great game as the Twins won 6-1 to move within 1 game of the Detroit Tigers for 1st place in the AL Central. It was a great game and I have a ton more good pictures and a couple of good videos, but once again the blogger has stopped loading pictures. While on the topic of MLB, the New York Mets officially clinched the NL East Division about 1 hour ago as they won their first division title since 1988 and knocked off perenial power and current doormat Atlanta.

I laughed at your description of Atlanta's performance - a doormat! A busload of our kids are going next WEd. night to watch the doormat get walked on again perhaps. . . We turned down the chance to go along as sponsors yesterday. Imagine that. YOU were the only reason we went to ballgames in Atlanta and now that YOU're gone, we have no need/desire!
