Baseball Trip, Days 5 and 6

San Diego - Paradise after too many days in the desert.


The view from the outfield play area. It was great - a small field for playing catch or wiffleball. And you didn't even have to miss a pitch because of the giant screen. The hill overlooking the field reminded me of countless minor league parks and it is a nice touch.


The next day, we went to Ocean Beach. This beach included a really really long pier that included a good restaurant where we ate lunch.


So many picture opportunities.


I was fascinated by the tiny houses right by the beach. When were they built? Why haven't they been torn down for big vacation houses? Interesting.


Not only is Handwashings running in the upcoming marathon but he amazingly also finds the time to get in some surfing.


When I was a kid, I used to wonder if there would ever be a bridge across the ocean. This pier leads me to believe that it might be built soon.


Hott, Part III


Album Cover
l to r: Mitch (The Love) - drums, SHR (The Asian Killa) - vox, sax, and keyboards, M (The Balginator) Balgavy - bass and handclaps, JCPCP (The Apeman) - guitar and vox


Inspired the night before by some young hooligans outside the game, Balgavy prepares himself for some serious freestyle walking.


Fuck yeah!


Hang loose, dude.


The view from the upper concourse of the ballpark shows our country in a nutshell - natural beauty, ugly industry, and incredible monuments to the automobile.

I assume the ad for strippers on Balgavy's shirt is obscured by the beardage.

(I just tried to comment before crashing, so this may be a double post)

The ugly exterior achitecture of Petco Park can be excused if only because it encouraged the Balgavy wall-walking display. This is the best series of photos yet.

"The Love?" Do I even want to know how I earned that album cover nickname?
