I love baseball. It is America’s game.
Without trying to be too poetic here about a game, it was a joy to take Mom to the Arizona Diamondbacks home opener on her 80th birthday. She’s a big fan, but has not attended too many games, especially since Dad died in 2001.
Mom, 80 years young, April 7, 2008.
It was a exciting for me to see the D-Backs play, for I know a couple of the players from their days at the South Bend Silver Hawks, where I was the team photographer for five seasons.
Mark Reynolds, 3rd Base, was at the Class A Silver Hawks for two seasons. He was called up to the D-Backs from their AA Minor League team, and he has started off this season showing why he was called up. Tonight, he hit two home runs. I managed to photograph the second one from our seats.
Mark Reynolds second home run of the evening.
The game was sold out. Diamondbacks 9, Dodgers 3.
