I too was at the game today, and the atmosphere was truly electric. I thought last night and Friday night was good, but today was just amazing.
From start to end, I don't think I've ever seen a game like this. Actually, I haven't. Sitting in the right field seats, I couldn't see the scoreboard except on the UV screens, which were for some reason displaying ads for most of the game. So I was instead relying on the stadium cheerin it up and the people around me to find out how the Brew Crew was doing. When the game became final and Pads lost, the crowd just exploded.
I loved the ending, other than getting that scare there in the ninth, it was great seeing Helton hopping around excited off his butt. And then seeing all the players and managers, including Hurdle, walking around the whole field, giving hats and accessories to fans. An amazing game that I will remember forever.
Got club level seats for tomorrow's tiebreaker.
