Evidently they were all gone within 15 minutes of the gates opening. <br /><br />On a player name note, I do recall watching a Peacock/Peacock battery at the Pfitz back in the day. Also, I was making with the Strausborger remarks during the game (SS will grill him, Strausborger: It's what's for dinner, etc. :-))<br /><br />Hadn't realized that Mark was there until another Insider told me. Didn't see him, although I did see Byron Kerr and some sister Insiders.<br /><br />It was a fun game and I have to say I was surprised at how many folks stayed until the end (although others did leave after SS was out of the game). Early in the game one of the staffers was telling some folks that they would have their choice of seats after SS was done, as 80 percent of the "fans" had left after he exited the game at Hagerstown. As we were walking out after the game was over, it occurred to me that some folks may have stayed later because the Strasburg jersey raffle didn't take place until after the final out. Clever. :-) Anyway, it was an enthusiastic crowd and fun to see so many in attendance at the Pfitz. Wish there would have been such crowds for their playoff games back in the day but oh, well.<br /><br />btw, I was not sporting SS gear. I'm undefeated at the Pfitz in my white curly w t-shirt, and we all know that you don't mess with a streak. Plus, I don't own any SS gear. I didn't win the jersey raffle but I did get a bobblehead. So there's that. Plus I got to see another P-Nats win.natsfan1anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-12957445379788930472011-08-12T19:49:49.486-04:002011-08-12T19:49:49.486-04:00Nice triple by another Siriano.Nice triple by another Siriano.JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882101532666365432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-8878721926768067132011-08-12T19:32:50.572-04:002011-08-12T19:32:50.572-04:00Mark.
