6-24-09 PNC Park

Another hot and sunny day at PNC Park today.

I really wasn’t looking forward to batting practice much today, after seeing yesterday’s performance by the Indians.  Their right handed hitters all take a predominantly opposite field approach when they are taking their cuts, meaning most of their hits are line drives to right or right center field.

I got on the board with ball #1 of the day from Steven Pearce.  He hit a home run that was landing about a row and a half in front of me.  I was able to get my glove on it, but didn’t make the catch.  The ball dribbled into the row directly in front of me, and I was able to quickly pick it up for my first ball of the day.

It helped that this was the scene for the first 30 minutes.

Season ticket holders only.

The sun was glaringly bright again today.
