The Detroit Tigers came to our Nation's Capital and Eric and I could NOT pass up an opportunity to see our beloved Tigers in action. We scoured Craigslist, we browsed stubhub.com and tickco.com, scrolled through Ticketmaster and back to Craigslist. I was sitting at work when I hit refresh and there they were. 2 tickets behind home plate for a steal of a price. I emailed the seller for some additional information and talked it over with Eric and we made the promise of meeting in DC before 6pm on Tuesday the 19th. We had not exchanged money yet so if there were any problems or doubt in our mind we would not have been out the money.
I knew it was totally meant to be when traffic was a breeze getting into the city and manuerving through the streets. Eric dropped me off at the corner of Connecticut and 16th. I had to walk a block and half to the office building and made my way to the top floor. I examined those tickets as if I were picking out a diamond.
I had in hand my friends tickets and a parking pass to the game on Wednesday.
Our tickets included an all you can eat buffet before the game and all you can eat snacks delivered to your seat through out the game. Not a bad deal.
Our seats were awesome. We were 5 rows behind home plate and very close to the Tigers dug out.

We got to see the racing President's during one of the breaks inbetween the top and bottom of the inning and just the buzz of being at the ballpark was exciting.
The Tigers won 8 - 4 that night sweeping the series with the Nationals.
I can't wait until our next ball game as we traverse the states to visit every major league ball park.
Obey the law....keep our roads safe.
