kind of shift over from the main
2:25
entrance
2:26
and i'm going to go over past gate 3
2:29
past that
2:30
oversized cap that is 649 and a half
2:33
and go into the side entrance over
2:35
towards the right field seats where i'll
2:37
be sitting
2:37
notice a little bit of a queue line has
2:39
developed over here oh you could get an
2:41
inside peek at some of the getaways
2:43
or giveaways there is an otani
2:46
t-shirt which i am looking forward to
2:49

2:50
and a souvenir bag
2:53
as well very very shortly what i'm going
2:55
to do
2:56
is head down here towards the big a with
2:59
the
3:00
with the halo now the angels really need
3:02
to win the next few games in order to at
3:04
least
3:04
be able to get a spot for the wild card
3:06
to go into the playoffs
3:08
i will be going i'm announcing this now
3:10
i'll be going to florida in mid
3:12

3:18
like i said yesterday i now have two
3:20
home teams
3:20
because i will live five minutes from
3:22
angel stadium about an hour and a half
3:24
two hours depending on traffic from the
3:26
closest stadium my place in celebration
3:28
florida which is
3:29
tropicana field so expect both i will be
3:31
rooting for both teams depending on what
3:33
home
3:34
i am frequenting right now see angels
3:37
just about 4 50 which should be the
3:40
moment when
3:41
these gates over here at the right field
3:43
will open i can see the employees all
3:45
starting to line up
3:46
and prepare themselves to let everyone
3:49
in
3:50
for the brief moment until they let us
3:52
in i have procured a spot in the shades
3:54
it's very sunny over here
3:56
very shady over here and just a few
4:00
more moments it should be progressing
4:02
forward
4:03
looking at the ao west standings as of
4:05
this moment they
4:07
are at exactly 51-51
4:10
they are at 500.
4:14
fourth place back in the aost need some
4:17
wins
4:18
eleven and a half games back for future
4:20
reference whenever it's a 638 game
4:22
they start letting people in at 5 00 pm
4:26
so an hour and 30 minutes eight minutes
4:28
prior
4:29
is when the gates open i chose the
4:30
incorrect line to stand in i was waiting
4:32
quite a while so i'm gonna walk over
4:34
here where there really isn't any line
4:35
and it seems to be flowing
4:37
a lot quicker for some reason that got
4:38
really backed up and not moving very
4:40
quickly but right here
4:42
no issues all right heading in
4:45
oh my goodness these guys are just
4:49
dressed very stylishly
4:52
all right let's see what the there he
4:54
goes
4:55
all right thank you
4:58
now here's one of the items you can
5:01
already see the state there and here's
5:02
the second one
5:04
here how's it going good how are you
5:06
excellent thank you of course enjoy the
5:08
game
5:08
all right two complimentary items
5:11
i got 20 outfield seats and i've already
5:13
got a shirt that's probably worth at
5:14
least that
5:15
and a bag to hold it up went ahead and
5:17
took it out of the plastic covering it's
5:19
a
5:20
it's an xl adult xl as shown there
5:23
well that'll fit me for sure and then on
5:24
the back
5:27
there it is number 17 with the halo on
5:29
the a
5:32
not bad nice little carrying case
5:38
here gonna head over towards either
5:40
right maybe right and left field
5:43
starting at either or and just watch a
5:44
little batting practice
5:47
i don't always kind of get up in the mix
5:48
of things i did not bring a glove
5:50
but i do like to enjoy watching
5:52
everybody else kind of catching the
5:54
balls and seeing the hitters
5:55
okay never mind there is no
5:58
batting practice now they had a little
6:00
in-field practice
6:02
a moment ago i saw some of the a's that
6:03
happened a little in-field practice
6:05
but they do not have the backdrop behind
6:07
home plate set up for the batting
6:09
practice to be
6:10
kind of smashing any home runs out into
6:11
the outfield or getting any kind of long
6:14
drives or anything like that
6:15
all right now looking at this in a
6:16
little more detail i don't know why i
6:17
didn't notice it at first but it's a
6:19
hall of fame
6:20
bag as well so you got rod crew on there
6:22
don balor
6:23
nolan ryan over there in the corner and
6:26
a variety of others
6:27
guerrero mike witt also i noticed
6:30
downstairs
6:31
that there is also you can see the trout
6:34
bottle head
6:35
full-size bobble head over there in the
6:37
corner but down on the lower level they
6:39
have a food stand that serves
6:40
specifically potatoes
6:42
the name of the place is spuds fry stand
6:45
they also have chicken tenders
6:46
but i went with this dutch yellow
6:48
potatoes topped with pulled pork
6:51
which shows up in the in the helmet as
6:54
well
6:54
look at this there's like a bunch of
6:56
potatoes in there with an assortment of
6:58
cheese
6:59
sour cream someone just said put it on
7:02
my head i think that's what they were
7:03
saying i think i have to eat this first
7:04
and then wash it off and it might be a
7:06
little too small for my noggin
7:08
it's about uh the size of my palm i
7:10
can't forget the
7:11
sour cream as well so i've got the sour
7:14
of like dumping it everywhere just going
7:16
to put a little sour cream now in the
7:18
past i've gotten the ice cream in the
7:19
little cups
7:20
but i've also got the nachos which isn't
7:22
a much bigger one i always
7:24
throw them away this one i'm going to
7:25
because i have the bag i'm going to wash
7:27
it out
7:28
wash this out after i eat these spuds of
7:31
potatoes
7:32
and sour cream and cheese oh also pulled
7:34
pork on here wash it out
7:35
put it in that i have another souvenir
7:37
so i'm gonna have more souvenirs from
7:38
this game than i've ever gotten
7:40
from an angels game before yeah look at
7:42
first i thought it was going to be
7:44
a full-size baked potato it's really
7:46
good
7:48
when they were creating this
7:50
conglomeration they said
7:52
be prepared for it to be very filling
7:55
i can see it being very filly with the
7:56
filling with the meat
8:07
meat and potatoes it's americana right
8:08
it's not a hot dog you know what i mean
8:11
just about an hour from first pitch it
8:13
is about 5
8:14
35 so an hour and three minutes
8:17
just confirming there is no batting
8:18
practice the grounds crew is out there
8:20
taking care of business also
8:24
this will be a go-to for me for now on
8:27
this
8:28
is really good oh my gosh
8:31
the deeper i get down into all the
8:32
mixture the sour cream and cheese and
8:34
everything
8:34
yeah this this is good this will be a
8:37
go-to
8:38
highly recommend quite a few people
8:40
lined up over here at the far gate
8:42
it appears as if every single gate is
8:44
giving away
8:46
the freebies as well
8:52
there's the freeway over there and the
8:52
big a with the halo on top
8:54
even at 5 52 p.m
8:57
no sign of any of the angels starting
9:00
lineup or
9:01
players of any of any type unless not
9:03
trying to give any spoilers away about
9:05
what the
9:06
outfits are going to look like i've
9:07
never seen this before they're usually
9:09
they're out here at least uh 90 minutes
9:10
before
9:12
none ah they do have the number one foam
9:14
fingers
9:15
now they do have the headwear the trout
9:17
headwear which is a foam
9:19
trout they also have the foam fingers
9:22
as well look how much these are
9:27
i'm not seeing a price anywhere on these
9:30
yeah no price on these
9:36
and the reason i did not make the joke
9:36
well it must be free if i didn't have a
9:38
price on it is because in my 20 years of
9:40
retail
9:40
i heard that every single day when a
9:42
price tag fell off something so
9:44
i'm mentioning it but i didn't want to
9:45
make the joke while i was looking at the
9:47
product without the price on it because
9:48
it's kind of overused at 6
9:50
10 getting the first view of some of the
9:52
players over here with their throwback
9:54
uniforms on and the bat boy
9:56
all kind of dancing there to the 70s
10:00
groove
10:01
if you will here in the stadium and then
10:03
also you know
10:04
over here in the bullpen you've got the
10:06
catcher over here practicing
10:08
and one of the coaches throwing some
10:10
balls into the dirt so you can practice
10:12
you know get getting some pitches that
10:14
were it happened to be thrown away
10:16
you know just kind of warming up a
10:17
little bit over here and the bullpen
10:20
oh dang they have the waterfall on over
10:22
i don't i don't recall ever seeing well
10:24
at least in my tenure going to these
10:26
games and recent i don't remember the
10:28
waterfall being on granted this is only
10:29
the fifth game that i've been to but i
10:31
don't think in those five games they've
10:33
ever had the water
10:34
here on on the on the rock hey i'm gonna
10:37
start making my way to my seat now
10:38
and my seats for the evening are located
10:40
in 239
10:43
which i've become kind of familiar with
10:46
all right
10:47
players heading out on the field
10:50
couple minutes prior to 6 38
10:53
first pitch taking their positions in
10:56
their retro
10:57
1970s uniforms and got a helicopter
11:00
going by
11:01
and that was the first pitch which was a
11:04
strike
11:05
two three nine row wwc
11:09
17 and if by any chance
11:12
any home runs come in this area i can
11:14
kind of scurry down here
11:16
or maybe over in down the down that
11:18
section last night was very lackluster
11:21
when it goes to home runs but
11:22
maybe tonight we'll make up for it and
11:25
just like that angels are now batting
11:33
he ended up striking out so everyone got
11:35
excited
11:37
no home run i love all the photoshop of
11:40
all the
11:41
this little love boat up there
11:44
come on
11:49
see if there could be a little more
11:51
action here in the outfield than there
11:52
was last night
11:53
this would be a little bit bigger crowd
11:55
more excited
11:59
so he dropped it he dropped it
12:04
check out the blazing saddles also i
12:07
washed this out
12:10
and it's not just the home team check it
12:12
out even the a's
12:14
enter the dragon i love it
12:22
and the catchers up to bat little james
12:22
bond action here
12:23
a little double 07.
12:34
close almost up this is pretty good
12:34
brandon marsha plays center field always
12:36
kind of reminds me of forrest gump
12:38
during the running
12:39
during the running sequences
12:46
foul
12:49
the nixon elvis photo
12:57
very creative still no score yet adam
12:57
eaton up to that
12:58
with the starsky and hutch little
13:01
throwback
13:04
struck them out nice little jaws
13:09
that's good that's real good
13:16
i'm also realizing i'm not wearing the
13:16
appropriate hat
13:17
i'm wearing the right team but i could
13:20
have worn my throwback hat
13:33
we're in the new school on throwback
13:34
i in the i'm in the right seat right i
13:36
think these people are
13:37
here but otherwise you just go down
13:41
i'm in the right seat
13:48
looking at the sunset over there
13:52
very beautiful
13:57
i got the right seat but there seems to
13:57
be a little confusion on some of the
13:59
roads around me
14:00
it's a it's a it's busy out here in
14:01
right field
14:28
and now look who's up to that show hey
14:30
yo
14:39
i do love that sunset over there
14:39
good game so far really like really like
14:42
the turnout
14:43
ended up getting thrown out at first
14:49
guy behind me just blew his nose we're
14:49
getting the beginnings of the wave over
15:04
oh yeah the wave coming around check it
15:05
out
15:07
there it is coming back around
15:14
here we go
15:36
see if it carries on for the full circle
15:36
oh yeah
15:40
the cheers going across the stadium
16:11
thinking about maybe getting something
16:11
over here from jersey mike's
16:14
yeah i think i'm going to get a sub from
16:15
jersey mike's
16:17
also a pretty good view over here from
16:20
kinda sort of left field i guess it
16:21
would be
16:22
left center more or less and it appears
16:25
as if
16:26
the the a that's over there
16:30
has sprung a leak notice how they have
16:32
the mops and everything out i believe
16:34
because the water is now on it's kind of
16:36
seeping underneath the rocks there
16:39
taking a look at the prices we got
16:41
turkey and provolone 1150
16:43
or mike's famous philly for 11. i think
16:45
i'm gonna get the turkey and provolone
16:47
and another water oh got a
16:50
base head up the middle i'm going to
16:51
throw them out at first there you go i
16:54
got
16:54
a sub above and they don't put the
16:57
condiments on it but they asked if i
16:58
wanted mustard mayonnaise i said yes and
17:00
oil and vinegar
17:02
and just to get a little reference where
17:03
i'm sitting is over that way
17:15
right about there you can see the
17:15
coca-cola
17:16
neon behind well i was sitting in front
17:19
of that coca-cola neon there on the end
17:22
yep appears as if they have stanchioned
17:24
off the area
17:28
with this trash can and but yeah you can
17:28
see how it's kind of leaking
17:30
they got the sandbags there from where
17:32
the waterfall is
17:34
kind of leaking just a little bit over
17:36
here so you got to be careful when
17:37
you're walking through
17:38
walking back to my seat gonna go up this
17:40
ramp in the cold zone
17:42
you can kind of see where they got the
17:44
cameras up where they're
17:46
recording for the tv pretty good view
17:49
from here as well
17:52
oh look at all these gnats can you see
17:54
all the gnats flying around right there
17:56
there's a lot of
17:57
a lot of bugs and mats flying behind
17:59
this gentleman's chair he probably
18:00
doesn't even know all those gnats
18:02
are down there wait did they turn the
18:05
water off
18:06
the water might be off now i almost went
18:08
with another helmet nachos
18:10
but the line was pretty long and i
18:12
decided to go with the sub
18:14
instead i think i made the right choice
18:16
going with the jersey mics up
18:18
trying to try all the menu items out
18:20
here over time
18:22
back into 239 now
18:28
it's a real beehive of activity over in
18:31
this section
18:32
okay i've really layered it up with
18:33
everything here mustard mayonnaise
18:36
a little oil and vinegar just gotta put
18:40
put the
18:57
interesting in front of me
19:25
oh yeah that's good
19:25
and now the a's are back up to bat and
19:28
the sixth inning
19:30
and the water is still on from whatever
19:32
angle i was over that looked like the
19:33
water was turned back off again
19:34
and then back up to bat tawny
19:56
he's out
20:06
and yet another pitcher over here
20:08
warming up in the bullpen for the angels
20:35
oh
21:03
man on first and second brandon marsh
21:03
or forrest gump in the running scenes is
21:05
how what i kind of he reminds me of
21:07
that beard and hair
21:13
ended up not scoring and
21:13
now changing out the sides angel's going
21:15
back out on the field
21:17
everyone's dancing around to the ymca
21:19
you know it's fun to stay
21:21
the funnest place to stay is at the ymca
21:23
and everyone's
21:24
kind of standing up it's not even
21:26
seventh inning stretch but everyone's
21:27
standing up doing
21:28
the ymca pretty cool to see a lot of
21:30
energy out here in the outfield looks
21:31
like we got the beginnings of another
21:33
wave
21:33
starting over here
21:48
there it goes that's a good one you can
21:48
faintly hear the disneyland fireworks
21:50
off in the distance too
21:51
it's 908 right now
21:59
cannot see them from my seats if i was
22:02
over there on that
22:03
other side of that ledge you would i can
22:05
kind of hear them
22:19
seventh inning stretch i think my voice
22:19
just cracked i have never been quite a
22:21
singer
22:21
but i attempted it everyone's stretching
22:24
making my way over to the sweet shop i'm
22:27
gonna get myself some ice cream inside
22:30
uh a helmet we've also got cotton candy
22:33
up there on top of the ice cream machine
22:40
he's just hit a home run i'm over here
22:43
waiting in this long line at the sweet
22:45
shop
22:53
okay that was a really long line to get
22:56
some ice cream so i'm going up a level
22:58
maybe the sweet shop up on the next
23:00
level up won't have as many people in
23:03
this is a little more of a trick than i
23:04
thought all the way at the top level now
23:07
looking over the freeway
23:08
and the halo here but my thought was
23:11
correct look
23:11
no one in this line on the top level
23:14
success
23:14
however it's melting very quickly i'm
23:16
trying to get back over to my seat in
23:18
time
23:18
i have to make a pit stop and just take
23:21
a little bit off the top if you're
23:22
starting to melt down the side
23:31
very messy and of course so tony's up to
23:34
bat right now
23:35
so i'm kind of rushing it over here
23:44
this is melting right before my face
24:11
all right last chance three outs bottom
24:11
of the knife
24:18
oh yeah oh nice
24:18
got a double out of it safe
24:25
there's now two outs two strikes only
24:25
one strike needed
24:26
for the a's to win this one as someone
24:28
rooting for the angels a little
24:30
disappointing
24:31
that they didn't pull that through had a
24:32
couple opportunities the game last night
24:35
i was at
24:36
they also lost so i will say however
24:39
even a
24:40
a bad game at a ballpark still a pretty
24:42
good night
24:44
what is that noise i don't know what
24:46
that always is noises
24:48
one of these days i will be out in the
24:50
outfield when he hits a home run
24:52
tonight was not the night i've seen him
24:55
hit a couple home runs but i haven't
24:56
been out in the outfield
24:57
there was one time i was in left field
24:59
and he hit it to right
25:17
that's going to do it for today
25:17
from angel stadium here in anaheim
25:21
i enjoyed some delicious treats a couple
25:23
things i had not tried before
25:25
well at least one that potato dish was
25:28
really good i don't know what that noise
25:31
was either
25:39
hey how's it going and i got a few
25:39
free items just for showing up t-shirt
25:43
saw the angels in their vintage 70s
25:45
where
25:47
which was pretty cool and a bag
25:50
this bag right here
25:58
oh and i washed out the cup
25:58
well the helmet that's down in there
26:00
that had the
26:01
the food items in it and for one reason
26:03
or another i still have a plastic
26:05
piece of cutlery as a take home so
26:07
that's a bonus
26:19
