Despite the packed outfield areas, the infield was rather sparse. This is in the third inning of the game.

The nice people sitting behind me, who gave me one of their extra dolphins. The sign is for their Hichori Morimoto fan site.

The guy sitting next to me caught a ground rule double ball hit over the LF wall by Jeff Liefer. Neat!

The ground-rule double ball he caught. Note the teams and date stamped on it.
