    Some Pics from the WBC Finals

    Here are some pics from the WBC Finals. What a great experience it was to go to these games. They are a little blurry. I was up on the balcony at the Western Metal Supply Building so it was far away, and I suck with the digital zoom.

          PACKED!! I imagine it was a sellout and then some. It even seemed more crowded than usual in the park in the park section.

            I am pleasantly surprised to hear that.

                Thx, I was rooting for Japan. I like to watch their small ball style of play.

                  Nice pics. Overall I thought this was a great idea. It really got me into baseball right away. My interest dwindled when USA lost but still. I was hoping for a USA/Cuba final. Now that would've been something.

                      To answer the attendence question I heard Dan Shulman say that it looked like 40 thousand.

                      It's interesting to see how the games in San Diego seemed to outsell Padres games.

                        I just looked it was officially 42,386 or something like that. That's just about capacity at Petco. Considering it was a Monday night, that's pretty damn good. The Padres get pretty good attendance, especially on weekend games. The Padres drew over 3,000,000 fans last year, which puts them 8th, in the league as far as I see.

                          has it always been that way for the Pads, or is it the proverbal "new stadium" affect?

                            Since 1996, they've been well over 2 million per year, and that's despite some awful teams. San Diego is for the most part is a baseball town first and foremost.
