Happy Fence Friday!!!
I continue my journey to visit every MLB ballpark. I ran across Coors Field, Denver. Unfortunately the Rockies lost but had fun sitting few rows behind 1st base.
If you are looking for the ultimate baseball experience, PETCO Park is the place to go. The venue is great with ambiance galore! Haven for foodies...try the fish tacos on Taco Tuesday. The view is unbelievable and oh, there is baseball too!
Norfolk Southern's York local was pulling through town while taking headroom with a delivery for the Yorkrail.
A pair of EMD GP38-3 rebuilds soaked up the late afternoon sunlight with the H96 local as they passed the home of the minor league York Revolution baseball team.

I just got back from another amazing baseball trip where I was able to check off two more MLB ballparks off the list, Nationals Park in Washington D.C. and Oriole Park in Baltimore. When I visit a new baseball stadium, I look for an area high and directly behind home plate to get a nice overview photo at some point during the game using a ultra-wide or fisheye lens. One thing I'm noticing is depending on the layout of each stadium, and whether access to a location directly behind home plate is possible, some stadiums work better than others for this type of shot. Many just don't work with photos looking wonky and off-balance. Oriole Park at Camden Yards - one of the nicest stadiums I have visited by the way - really lends itself well to this wide, fisheyes overview.
This particular game was a lot of fun. After seeing my San Francisco Giants have an epic collapse and blow a 6-2 lead and lose 14-6 in Washington on Sunday, I found Monday's game in Baltimore to be a lot more enjoyable. The Orioles played long-ball, hitting 5 home runs: two in the 3rd (back-to-back) and three in the 5th (back-to-back-to-back). I had never seen anything like it.
A black and white study of baseball tradition—Camden Franks, Cracker Jack, and endless summer motion.
I love that birds are everywhere. This guy was making the most of a pile of discarded wet French fries at the ballpark.
