PFW Postcard: Baltimore edition
Written by Erik Scalavino on August 28, 2009 – 12:19 am -
O for the evening
Since our hotel was closer to Baltimore than D.C., we spontaneously decided to catch a ball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Great ballpark … one of, if not the, best of the new parks in the majors. Only cost us 9 bucks to get in to see the Os host the Indians.
We entered at the center field gate, which is a picnic-table area above the bullpen. I turned to Paul and said, “OK, let’s have a home run, right here, right now.” No sooner did I speak the words than an Oriole (forgot who it was) cranked one into the left field seats, just to our right. Got a high-five from Paulie Walnuts for making the call.
Get to the top of the ninth inning, Cleveland down 4-3, with a man on first and Andy Marte at bat. By this time, we’d moved to the piazza in right field, just below the brick warehouse facade. I got on the cell to call the cab company to hail our ride back to the hotel, and Andy Hart says, “We can’t leave yet because Marte’s gonna hit the game winning home run right to us.”
Swear to God, as soon as the words left his mouth, Marte drilled a pitch to the same spot in left field where the first home run went. So, PFW was 0-for-2 in catching a baseball, but 2-for-2 in calling homers on the night.
And yes, that’s the world famous Brian Lowe of Patriots Today fame joining Team PFW for a night on the town.

B-Lowe looks like a giant compared to you three vertically challenged scibes

Christ! Lowe is a giant! I’ll be in club level 306 tonight. Let me know if I might have the pleasure of meeting you fools, even Andy. I should be there around 6:00 PM to grab dinner at the stadium. Hope it is a good game. This PFW Hits the Road thing is catching on. I like it.

What were Paul and Andy drinking?

My favorite part of the pic is Paul clutching his beer - either like a baby or as if to say, “Don’t NOBODY touch this!”
Love the new feature. Have fun tonight. No injuries.

Hey did B-lowe ever play ball, how tall is he, or are you guys that short?
“They sound much larger on radio”
What’s the deal Fred only hires little people?

We’re all pretty short…although we all also tower over Fred.
