It was a beautiful spring day, the taxes were done, so we went to the ball game.  Along the way we saw this dead bird

</PHOTO>
and then we saw the park
<PHOTO>

</PHOTO>
looming larger
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0112
</PHOTO>
as this woman sold us our tickets
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0113
</PHOTO>
and we went to see batting practice (after a fashion)

and the cotton candy man was passing by
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0120
</PHOTO>
as batting practice 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0121
</PHOTO>
continued to amuse me in this self portrait
<PHOTO>

while Boomer took the field

above the dugout
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0127
</PHOTO>
and the rules were set
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0128
</PHOTO>
as I captured a few stadium shots
<PHOTO>

../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0132

before Ben returned with some cracker jack (tradition and all)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0133
</PHOTO>
and ice cream (yet another tradition)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0134
</PHOTO>
as we watched the game progress
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0135
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0136
</PHOTO>
even as the bat race 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0137
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0138
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0139
</PHOTO>
and the race in balls were being set up
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0140
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0141
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0142
</PHOTO>
to distract us from a bad ball game.  On the way out, we watched this picture being taken
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/04.15-18.06BallGameToSarahsBday//IMG_0143
</PHOTO>
before Ben sat with the All Stars
