Beautiful sunny 4th of July, sat in the bleachers at the ball park. Pure Americana!
Sat out in 'Mount Davis' I thought the stadium looked ok. Sure the tarp isn't great, but it's better than empty seats.
Great pitching from Straily (1 hit over 7 innings) and Wood for the Cubs (3 hits over 6). A's took the lead in the 7th, when Norris scored off a passed ball.
Undoubted highlight of the day, and high up on the whole trip, were the Oakland fans when their closer Aussie Grant Balfour came out to pitch. Apologies but I cannot describe it, you have to see it!
