0:10
as the recording of this

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

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
