Thoughts from Chase Field

Yesterday evening found me enjoying a warm Arizona night at Chase Field in downtown Phoenix. For the casual baseball observers on board, Chase Field is home to the Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks.

The game was absolutely stunning. D-backs pitcher Max Scherzer nigh had a better performance at bat than he did from the mound, driving in two runs while pitching a solid seven innings before the AZ brass shut things down.

The ESPN write up of the game follows:
Max Scherzer struck out 10 and drove in two runs, Chris Young made a leaping catch at the fence for the final out and Arizona held off San Diego 6-5 on Tuesday night to snap the Padres' 10-game winning streak

The game was tremendous, but what makes any outing to the ballpark memorable is the company you share.

Last night the fiancee and I were joined by two of our best friends from Tucson, add to that mix cold beer at the park and a sumptuous meal as a prelude, and you have all the makings for a great time. Even our outfield seats at Chase cooperated by providing us one of the best views in house.

All of which leads me to the inescapable conclusion that there is no finer place to enjoy the summer than at the baseball field.

Amen, brother. Baseball might not be as exciting and continuously engaging as football or basketball, but it certainly is still "America's Pastime." Nothing like watching baseball live...it's good on TV but just doesn't translate as well as the other sports. I played (and was actually pretty good) when I was younger, and I still love the smell of glove leather and infield grass. Nothing like it.
