We arrived at the game early.  Our seats were nearly on the field and thus out in the full blaze of the sun.  We went down to the seats at 1:00 and stayed until the end of the game around 4:45.  There was a family from Wisconsin in the row behind us and they did not last long at all.  The mom and the pre-teen daughter scrambled to the shade on the food and drink level after about 30 minutes.  At one point the dad was on his cell phone and he was telling the person on the other end that he, “was roasting.”  The game was good though the Nats lost.  Nyger Morgan and Josh Willingham both made great catches against the outfield wall.  It is amazing to watch the choreography of the offensive and defensive play setting and making.  On the surface it looks so spontaneous, but there is so much thought and strategy for each circumstance.  That is why I love baseball: everyone has to know what everyone else is doing and work together.
