My camera just die at the begining of the game,so for this blog entry,let’s just say that there’s not a lot of pictures. First of all, I can say that the day began there:

And finished like that:

But let me tell you how I’ve got all these balls! Well after climbing Angel’s Landing at Zion National Park(God,I love Utah!) in approximatly 4 hours and a half, i realized that it was just 10:00 and that we could be at San Bernardino for the games at 7:05. Plus,jetlag was helping me to get to the beggining of the BP. So after a long day of road,crossing the Californian desert, I arrived at San Manuel Stadium. I bought a ticket,and decided to look around the stadium. Just ou of my reach in rightfield,there was 3 balls just sitting there! I knew that if I was the first in line to enter the stadium,it would be a piece of cake to get them all!

I went to the main entrance,and realized that the gates were already opened. I saw a sign that was sayin ”Early entrance for seasons tickets holder ONLY” but I still tryed to pass,and I suceed! I ran to right field and got all the ball. The first one (my first MILB ball) was not an official California League baseball (…) but the two other were officials.

Two players saw me in the right field and were joking about me throwing the balls to them. I knew that i would’nt suceed to get toss-up from them since I actually was the only fan in ALL the stadium. I headed to left-field where i got my fourth ball of the day(toss-up). After this ball, I decided to look around the stadium to buy a 66ers cap(their logo is just incredibly cool!). But a usher called me,and I didn’t knew why. I was afraid to be in trouble for X reason. But as soon that he got close to me, I saw him looking in his pocket,and held me an official ball. A usher was giving me a ball! How cool is that? It was,at this point,the fifth ball of the day. The sixth was a ball found near a fence in right field. The last ball of the BP was thrown to me by a player of Rancho Cucamonga (the visiting team) after playing catch with one of his teamate. 7 balls in the BP,it was unreal! After that, I met a guy (I forgot his name) that was taking pictures of the players to make card and give them back to the player for the next game! Cool guy!
This was my view of the first picth:

But I soon decided to go to left field because there was less competition.

My goal for the game was to catch a foul ball(and trying to not be distracted by the awesome mascot called Elmo!(Aka:Bernie)).

At the top of the 4th inning, McDonald,a Rancho player grounded the ball right to me. I made a couple of steps,but I still managed to caught that foul ball. Eight ball of the day!
At that point, I was just watching the game. My 9th ball of the day was totally unexpected;the bullpen at this stadium are situated near the foul ball line,a pitcher made a wild pitch and it landed at my feet! Awesome time at San Bernardino! The stadium is awesome and everyone that love baseball and visiting L.A. and don’t want to pay too much to see baseball have to go there! See you soon 66ers!
