0:02 today's adventure brings me to anaheim
0:02 california directly ahead
0:05 is angel stadium
0:07 an overcast sunday afternoon
0:10 as the recording of this
0:12 the lights are on at the stadium
0:14 even at 11 15 a.m
0:18 it's about 70 degrees
0:20 nice
0:21 one thing i love about this place
0:22 parking is only 10
0:24 just went through the little
0:26 parking stands gonna go find a spot not
0:30 the first ones here but pretty close
0:32 first pitch is slated for 107.
0:36 okay suzy open 98 97 minutes prior
0:40 so i'm gonna get in a little early
0:43 also ohtani is pitching today and it's
0:45 the last home game
0:47 of the season this will be my last time
0:49 at angel stadium for 2021. and that does
0:52 not just apply to me but for everyone
0:54 else that is here by the way wearing an
0:56 appropriate
0:58 t-shirt
1:02 not only
1:02 for the other guests who are arriving
1:04 there will be no more home games there
1:06 are a few away games throughout the
1:07 course of the rest of the season which
1:09 is not going to last much longer only
1:11 about another
1:12 week
1:13 or so and they are all away also the
1:16 team to be the last time they will be
1:18 taking the field
1:20 here at angel stadium the los angeles
1:22 angels stadium
1:24 in anaheim very confusing night
1:26 nonetheless
1:27 i'm heading in
1:29 i'm inviting you to join me
1:31 shall we
1:32 is it nice sure right i like it
1:34 i got the old school cap on i have had
1:36 some good times here over the course of
1:38 this season started getting back into
1:40 baseball around the second half of the
1:41 season i really went full in really have
1:44 enjoyed being here looking forward to
1:45 next year didn't make the playoffs this
1:47 season the angels didn't there's always
1:49 next year
1:50 trout is still you know on the injured
1:52 list
1:53 and a variety of other issues
1:55 but next year it's looking pretty
1:57 promising and how appropriate and the
1:59 timing is perfect that ohtani will not
2:01 only well he probably will be doing the
2:03 doing a bat going up to bat as well but
2:05 he's also pitching
2:06 today for the last home opener which
2:09 should make it pretty exciting i am
2:10 expecting uh quite a decent sized crowd
2:13 here for the last at least i'm hoping so
2:15 let's see what happens maybe they'll do
2:17 the wave maybe i'll get to witness
2:19 the wave we will meet again next year i
2:22 assure you
2:24 i'll miss you
2:25 hat size
2:26 649 and a half
2:28 up
2:29 looks as if they're about to open up
2:31 i think i'm going to go down to the
2:32 first base line side i think there's
2:34 anyone over there trying to get out and
2:36 see if there's any batting practice
2:37 taking place
2:39 oh there's a few people back there over
2:40 on the side of the the big a
2:43 next to the freeway and even though the
2:45 angels will not be making it to the
2:46 postseason the mariners have a good
2:48 chance of possibly doing so they could
2:51 be knocked out of that
2:52 by another loss today
2:55 that's who they're going up against the
2:56 seattle mariners
2:59 should be fun
3:00 all the checkpoints being
3:02 being ready to be placed in order looks
3:04 like they're about to start letting
3:06 people in right now i'm going through
3:07 right field and kind of peruse the
3:10 schedule here this was the schedule for
3:12 the whole year and highlighted over here
3:15 is today's right there against seattle
3:18 107 pm just after
3:21 noon and the rest of the games are all
3:24 all away
3:29 it begins or should i say it ends this
3:30 is you know it's the last home game so
3:31 yeah
3:32 a little goodbye for this year at angel
3:34 stadium now what is pretty standard most
3:37 times for a day game with a little after
3:39 1 p.m first pitch there is no batting
3:42 practice at all grounds crews already
3:44 starting to get everything ready and
3:46 formulated for
3:48 it to begin at the 107 first pitch and
3:52 the stadium starting to fill up quite a
3:54 bit especially when you go over here to
3:57 back to the bullpen where they're doing
3:59 a little bit of warm-up preparing for
4:00 shohei to
4:02 do his warm-up in a little bit and the
4:04 crowd is starting to grow considerably
4:06 it's amazing how much height there is
4:08 behind
4:09 shohei ohtani for good reason he is not
4:12 only a pitcher that gets quite a few
4:14 strikeouts a great pitcher but also a
4:16 home run one of the home run leaders
4:18 this season
4:19 in the mlb which is pretty pretty
4:21 spectacular and i found a pretty good
4:23 spot it was very difficult to get over
4:25 here prior to finding the spot to get a
4:27 good angle kind of zoomed in at him
4:30 warming up
4:31 quite a few quite a few pitches that i'm
4:33 watching from this position you can just
4:34 see how many people
4:37 you know these are not their seats it's
4:38 not everyone's seats they are just
4:39 standing here prior to the game just to
4:42 watch this just to watch a close-up of
4:44 some one of their favorite players from
4:45 the angels or maybe one of their
4:46 favorite players in all of baseball at
4:48 this time in
4:50 in line for the mvp probably hear a lot
4:52 of mvp
4:53 chants throughout the course of this
4:55 game yeah pretty neat well as i stated
4:58 it's pretty pretty cool that
5:00 this is this is his pitching start
5:03 on the last home game of the season
5:06 i'm here for it and here goes first
5:08 pitch
5:10 i think that was a ball
5:11 i'm gonna start off on my seats that i
5:13 purchased up on the upper deck you can
5:15 see
5:16 even though it's already begun people
5:18 are still entering and the parking lot
5:20 is filling up nicely
5:22 yeah upper deck seat's going to start
5:23 there and then throughout the course of
5:24 the game i'll probably move to some
5:25 other ones
5:26 that's usually what i do
5:28 what a great day
5:30 the weather is nice
5:32 here at the ballpark
5:38 pretty much every seat in the stadium is
5:38 a good seat no matter where you sit but
5:40 i like the upper deck and right field
5:42 sometimes i'll be down there
5:44 so i'm usually torn between right field
5:47 and then up here on this angle where you
5:49 can see into the angels dugout and
5:50 pretty good view of the diamond
5:52 oh yeah this is decent
5:54 oh that was not the
5:56 got this
5:58 got it
6:02 nicely done
6:02 would be pretty amazing if he got 10
6:04 strikeouts like he did earlier in the
6:05 season
6:06 and also hit a home run today i'm just
6:08 putting that out there that'd be pretty
6:10 dang awesome
6:12 yeah you got 10 strikeouts a couple
6:13 weeks ago
6:15 pitcher that's also a home run bleeder
6:17 let that sink in yeah i think that
6:19 that's that's mvp status right there
6:21 that's pretty cool that's the train
6:23 going by you see the honda center
6:27 off in the distance as well
6:33 and then of course there's the
6:33 the rock a in outfield with the
6:35 waterfall
6:37 you'll notice how those seats way over
6:38 in extreme
6:40 first baseline
6:42 upper deck are empty
6:44 it's because the ushers over there told
6:45 everyone they could move down closer to
6:47 home plate if they wanted
6:48 that was pretty awesome
6:51 now it could be because it's the last
6:52 home game but i believe it more has to
6:54 do with the fact of the time of day
6:56 usually if there was an overcast the sun
6:58 would be beaming on those seats over
7:00 there so it's nicer oh
7:08 struck them out
7:10 struck them out and one thing they
7:12 started doing very recently this season
7:14 is they check every pitcher's hat and
7:16 glove on the way off the field
7:18 every time
7:19 leading off for the angels brandon marsh
7:22 quickly becoming one of my favorite
7:23 players oh look for that reason
7:26 base hit
7:27 brandon marsh
7:28 oh this guy looks familiar
7:30 number 17 ohtani
7:33 just got done pitching
7:35 and now he's up to matt
7:37 right there
7:47 shouts of mvp and a foul
7:47 he not only hits a lot of home runs but
7:49 he's known for being walked quite a bit
7:52 and while i'm on the kind of this role
7:54 about ohtani also steals a lot of bases
7:58 steals bases strikes out batters hits
8:01 home runs
8:02 he said they're running for the top top
8:04 two players probably to get mvp i'm
8:06 gonna head back down to the lower level
8:08 just showing good to see the parking lot
8:10 pretty filled up i parked my rental car
8:12 somewhere over in that area
8:14 i'm gonna go get
8:15 some of those little mini potatoes in
8:17 the helmet i like so much oh there are
8:19 quite a few people in line for the spud
8:21 stand and of course while i'm waiting in
8:23 line that's why you don't get in line
8:25 when the angels are up because suzuki
8:27 just hit a home run and i missed it the
8:29 fact that this is going to be the last
8:30 one of these until next season
8:32 this is something that i usually always
8:35 get here at angel stadium it has the
8:37 sour cream it has the little onions on
8:39 top of it there it has the
8:41 what do you call those chives and then
8:42 the potatoes all
8:44 down in there i went ahead and got a mr
8:46 pib as well
8:49 yeah last home game last helmet potatoes
8:52 for me until 22 but the sun has started
8:57 to now rear its head again so i moved up
9:00 kind of into the shade is that a base
9:02 hit
9:03 they dropping it oh they got it
9:06 yeah the sun's coming out oh could it be
9:08 could it be brandon marsh
9:11 oh they almost dropped it almost dropped
9:14 it
9:15 pretty close brandon
9:26 close
9:26 very close
9:28 this isn't a bad place to sit either
9:29 you're out of the elements out of the
9:31 sun
9:31 if it does rain you're under the
9:33 overhang
9:39 and it's right down the first base line
9:39 oh it looks as if the wave is beginning
9:41 down there
9:44 someone's trying to start the wave there
9:45 on the front by the first place
9:48 dug out nice
9:53 good effort
9:53 usually takes a few tries
9:56 here it goes
10:10 there's enough people here to do the
10:10 wave this time oh there it goes
10:13 it's starting they got it going
10:17 yes
10:22 very nice very nice
10:22 continuing to the outfield
10:24 yep
10:26 there it is let's see
10:29 go go
10:44 it's getting
10:44 stronger it's getting stronger as it
10:47 goes around
11:04 only one out in the fifth inning angel's
11:04 still up one to nothing
11:06 shohei has seven strikeouts already i
11:09 don't know if he'll make it to ten but
11:10 he's doing really good
11:21 it is also interesting to me that it's
11:21 about to be the start of the sixth
11:22 inning and people are still
11:24 arriving to the stadium
11:26 two-thirds of the game is already over
11:29 there's a little bit of action in the
11:30 bullpound but nothing
11:32 nothing super intense
11:43 yeah a little bit a little bit of
11:43 warming up over there
11:53 strike
12:10 there it is struck him out
12:12 that's eight
12:13 eight strikeouts so far
12:16 damn it
12:17 got two guys on base but still eight
12:19 strikeouts in this game so far
12:22 went ahead and got myself a hoppy dog
12:25 an angel dog
12:26 and i have moved over here to a very
12:28 loud streaming section
12:30 looks like shohei might be getting his
12:32 ninth strikeout
12:35 oh got him that's nine
12:41 that's freaking nine strikeouts
12:45 you can see he's popping from here
12:48 oh that's a home run
12:50 seattle home run
12:52 ah
12:53 dang it
12:58 oh someone gonna throw it back
13:01 throwing it back
13:03 no he's keeping it
13:05 he's keeping it
13:07 got the angel's hat on he's keeping the
13:10 seattle
13:12 oh you know what is he standing up
13:14 nobody's keeping it
13:20 keeping it
13:20 it'd be tough i don't know what i would
13:21 do in that situation either plus i don't
13:24 think you're supposed to throw anything
13:25 see look at this usher right here he's
13:27 giving like the stare down thinking he
13:29 better not throw that back out on the
13:30 field because i believe that's frowned
13:32 upon
13:33 little warming up in the bullpen
13:36 haven't taken him off the mound yet
13:43 that's a foul ball
13:43 it's a strike
13:48 there it is strike two
13:48 one more you got the ten
13:56 got this man
13:57 you got this
14:14 you lot of mvp chances
14:25 there it is there it is
14:25 and if that's not a good way to go into
14:27 the seventh inning stretch
14:29 i honestly don't know what it what is
14:31 it's a pretty good accomplishment
14:33 definitely see the happiness on his face
14:35 even from way up here
14:37 seventh inning stretch
14:47 they're pretty good seats over here too
14:47 i've never sat
14:48 from this angle before
14:51 oh nice
14:52 could it be
14:54 oh at the warning track
14:58 oh i can't forget about this place i
15:00 need to get some
15:01 soft serve and a helmet that is a thing
15:04 of beauty i asked for a swirl but i
15:06 don't know if the swirl machine was
15:08 working they just like really piled on
15:11 the chocolate and the vanilla
15:13 there
15:16 that is pretty dang
15:18 delicious looking
15:20 my last ice cream helmet treat
15:23 for the season
15:24 here oh check it out there's a dove
15:27 right up there
15:29 there is a dove perched above me
15:31 probably one some of my delicious ice
15:33 cream
15:35 you want a little a little bit of this
15:36 ice creamed up you
15:38 want this
15:43 don't you dare
15:43 hey i'm not zoomed in anymore
15:46 there it is up there a little beam
15:48 you know what maybe that's not a dub
15:50 maybe it's a pigeon because there's
15:51 another one
15:53 right beside what i thought was a dove
15:55 okay never mind you're not a dove
15:57 now otani is not on the mound anymore
15:59 they've gone through two relief pitchers
16:01 while the second relief is up
16:04 probably should have left him on the
16:06 mound oh off the warning track
16:10 thought it was going to be a home run
16:11 going home
16:12 oh we just had a few runs for
16:15 for seattle
16:16 what the heck man
16:19 that went that went awry quickly
16:29 now five to one
16:30 just like that
16:43 notice the shift in the end field here
16:44 third baseman's all the way over where
16:46 the short stop should be and the short
16:47 stops like halfway between so there's
16:50 three infielders right here between
16:51 first and second and the sun has
16:53 definitely peaked out especially in
16:55 these seats where there's no shade
16:58 permeating oh
17:08 still five to one seattle winning
17:12 things went
17:14 away they shouldn't have gone
17:18 all right they have one more atmosphere
17:21 looks like another wave is trying to
17:22 start over there
17:33 could be the last wave of the season
17:33 here at angel stadium
17:54 well it did not go the way i presumed it
17:57 would have
17:59 you know they're they're there at the
18:00 end it kind of took a little bit of a
18:02 turn
18:03 and the angels lost their last home
18:07 game of the season here at angel stadium
18:09 but nonetheless still a pretty good time
18:11 i had some of my favorite foods the
18:12 weather was amazing and i got to see
18:15 shohei ohtani hitch
18:18 got up close and personal well not
18:19 personal but i got up close
18:21 during uh during the bullpen warm-up as
18:24 well which is pretty pretty dang nice
18:26 and the players are signing some
18:27 autographs and
18:29 and everything afterwards there's like a
18:30 little congregation of folks all kind of
18:32 celebrating the last home game here at
18:34 angel stadium of the season it was a fun
18:37 day fun day for sure
19:25 oh he's always so cool he's always out
19:25 signing autographs
19:26 almost after every game
19:45 hey
19:45 don't climb on it
20:08 all right they're pushing everyone to
20:08 the exit
20:10 trying to get the last moments in here
20:11 until
20:13 till next year
20:30 i don't want to leave
20:30 documenting the last hosing down of the
20:33 infield
20:34 until 22.
20:36 all right it's been documented
20:38 heading out
20:48 until next time
20:48 angel stadium of anaheim
20:51 till next time
21:09 and that's going to do it for
21:09 today
21:14 i'll see you in the next video the vlog
21:14 just dropped their helmet it's not as
21:16 big as one of those gargantuan helmets
21:18 but it was a hell but nonetheless see in
21:20 the next video
21:21 the vlog
21:23 it's over the parking lot really emptied
21:25 out i was in there a while
21:27 after it ended
