I went to the A's-Rangers game over the weekend and it was Star Wars night with fireworks. I am usually a baseball geek who takes pics of the game and really follows the action at the yard but this time I just decided to have fun and enjoy myself. So sorry if I didn't get a ton of game shots:
Baseball:

Fireworks:
I had a wonderful time at the ballpark (even if they played music from Rouge One instead of the classic Star Wars tunes) and I did visit the Darkside:
What a fun combination! Happy fall and May the force be with you!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the photos and the fireworks looked like a fab time :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a baseballtastic day :-)
Great shots - looks like you had lots of fun!

DeleteI love both baseball and Star Wars so that would have been a fun event to attend! Thanks for giving us some snapshots of the evening, Patrick. It's always the next best thing to being there!
ReplyDeleteNice pics of fireworks and starwars.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun family adventure!
ReplyDeleteOh boy! My grandson would have been in seventh heaven to see those Starwars characters.
ReplyDeleteYou must teach me how to take photos of fireworks! These are brilliant. I can never do that. You have some great photos here. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeletePatrick,
ReplyDeleteNice photo session of the ballgame, Star Wars characters, and fireworks. Night shots are hard to get and you did a great job! I love the name of the cupcake business, the Darkside. Now, I want dark chocolate cake! It just so happens I have some in the freezer. :D
You got some fine photos, especially the one of Jason Grilli, who must be ready to retire before they force him out. He'll always have 2013 though. I'm still chuckling after seeing that not only are you a Niners but an As and possibly a Rangers fan. Fans like you are what make the game great. Good for you. I also love the Star Wars dude behind the tape, as if anyone is going to rush that field, lol. Ohhh, sorry, my team is doing quite well right now.
ReplyDeleteMy grown up kids LOVE Star Wars and would have enjoyed that game.
ReplyDeleteYour firework photos are spectacular!
Looks like a lot of fun. I've been at games at the Coliseum where they let us on the field afterwards for fireworks, too. We would have quite enjoyed the Star Wars theme :)
ReplyDeleteActually one of the classmates in our town played for the Texas Rangers out of HS. His name was Toby Harrah, but that was years ago. I totally understand as lately, I've not taken so many photos when at family events or the grandbabies so I could enjoy more. Looks like you had a great time at the game. How fun for a Stars War theme. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking at Pictorial Tuesday

Looks like you had an amazing time, I love the photos of the fire works #alittlebitogeberything@_karendennis
ReplyDeleteI'm not a baseball gal...but that star wars stuff looks cool! I would've gone too if they were there. Also, with an offering like that, I would definitely join the darkside - at least as long as they keep feeding me. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great event. I have never been to anything like this. It looks like an amazing time. Thanks for linking up to The Wednesday Blog Hop. Hope you can join me tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteYou took lots of shots and that look like fun. You can't go wrong with a Star Wars theme. Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story and we hope you will join us again next week.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time! Love the Star Wars cosplayers! I have seen them all and have now introduced my kids to them as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

It looks like an incredible event and we are huge Star Wars fans so my family would have loved this
ReplyDeleteHey if the darkside was serving cupcakes I'd be there with you. Its fun to see how people enjoy Star Wars, I remember when it first came out and still love the original series the best.
