Rohan's First Highlight Reel

We went to a Diamondbacks game last night. The Phillies were in town, and we had nothing else really going on. We called and got awesome tickets. A season ticket holder had called in his tickets as available so we got section 140 in left field, and 2 rows from the fence. The phone agent who got us the tickets said we may even see a home run in our section...turns out he was wrong...we saw two...:)
The first HR was from Justin Upton in the bottom of the first inning. I can't post the video but here is a link to the highlight: HR #1. However, I did snag a screen shot of us from the video, but you can see us pretty clear in the replay. Rohan looks like he wants to go after that ball:


We did get something out of it though. The ball went back onto the field and a groundskeeper gave it to a kid in our row. Turns out the Diamondbacks have a promotion that when a fan catches a HR, everyone in that row gets a free hot dog! Pretty sweet deal!
Later in the game Chris Snyder hit another HR into our section. We didn't make the video since it was about 6 rows behind us, but it was still really exciting. Here is that video highlight: HR #2. Later in the ballgame they panned through the crowd and we all made it on their giant HD centerfield display, so that was pretty cool also...:)
Next time I'll bring my glove and maybe dive over a couple of rows to catch the next HR...:)
Here is another pic of Rohan at the game, this time from our perspective:
