There Are Those Who Call Me Tim's Ticket Stubs

And I'm right back at Petco Park the next day, for Military Opening Night. The Padres wore desert camouflage uniforms, and had a live link to the US carrier Nimitz during the pregame. The captain talked to the crowd with his crew behind him on the flight deck. Very impressive. The Padres won the game in their last at bat, beating the Rockies 2-1. Nice to see that even the generic Ticketmaster Padres tickets are in color this season.

After 25 years, I finally make it to my first Opening Day game for the Padres. It was a fun night, even though the Padres ending up losing to the Rockies 4-3. But we got a free hat out of the deal. Appropriate that Trevor Hoffman is on the season's first ticket, considering the record-setting season he had last year.
