Central Division Champs!

Adam & I went to the Reds game on Saturday with good friends Dave & Kara Berger.  We've had the trip planned since July, and Adam has been calculating for 2 weeks the possibility of the Reds clinching the division championship at this game.  If the Cards lose...If the Reds win... 

So this was the game!  If the Reds win this game, they are officially the Division champs, and we could be there to see it.  But, there was one hiccup...

Dave hands us our tickets and I am the first to walk through the gate.  The ticket agent stops me and says that my ticket is for tomorrow!  What?!!?  Everyone's ticket says Sunday.  The game is sold out.  Standing room only.  Uh-oh! 

Somehow when Dave ordered the tickets, he must've chosen the wrong date.  Honest mistake.  So we had to think quick.  We walked out to the street scalpers thinking that maybe we could make a deal with the tickets for Sunday.  No dice.  No exchanges or deals.  Long story short, we bought 4 tickets in the upper deck for a decent price.  At least we were all able to sit together.  The weather was perfect and we saw a great game. 

The Reds clinched the championship.  It was fun to watch the celebration and be a part of the excitement.  We walked down to the field level after the game to see the interviews and celebration on the field.  It was hard to take pictures, but here's what I got.

Chapman coming in @ top of 9th.

Reds Win!  Running from the dugout to celebrate!

NLCD Champs!
