Redlegs

It was about four years ago when I received two tickets to a Red's game as a gift from my wife on Father's Day. I have been and avid fan and follower of the Red's since the day that I used those tickets and took my son Dominick to that ball game. There is something special about being at a ball game when it's just a father and son moment.
Last night, I took the whole family down to watch the Redlegs play the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second of a three game series. They beat the Pirates the night before with the bases loaded and no outs in the bottom of the 12th, when Jonny Gomes hit a broken-bat grounder to Ronny Cedeno. The shortstop scooped it up and went home with a throw that was a little short but playable. Catcher Chris Snyder dropped the ball for an error as Chris Heisey scored the go-ahead run.
Last night's thriller would prove to be no different as the Red's, Joey Votto, delivered his first career walk-off homer in extra innings as well.

Here are some pics of last night's action.

An Ohio based Navy Seals Unit, just back from Afghanistan, secured the pitcher's mound and delivered the game ball.
