There are pictures of 500-HR hitters around the walls of the big open sportsbar in back of the indoor half. These are the "still active" hitters -- Sosa, Bonds, and Palmeiro. |
I had to go hunt down the Mike Schmidt picture. It was right next to the bar. |
View of the field as you're looking out from that bar. |
And a view of the bar. |
View of the outdoor half of the Hit it Here Cafe, from the back, just as I've crossed between sides. |
A barrel by the far side entry, with a typical restaurant "Hostess Will Seat You" sign. |
View of the outdoor reserved seats in the cafe. You can apparently go eat dinner there before the game starts without a reserved ticket, but you have to be out of the reserved areas by 30 minutes before gametime -- that's when the reserved tickets kick in. |
"Sugoi Ippatsu" - "Great home run" shown on the board after Kenji Johjima hit a grand slam. |
View of the board as it also said "Funk Blast". |
View of the scoreboard as JJ Putz was coming out. |
People waving their workout shirts, the giveaway for this game. |
Game over, the Mariners win, and the cafe is emptying out. |
