Cubs vs Astros: July 19, 2006

26
Another Clemens delivery.
27
Wrigley fans look at the best pitcher to take the mound for the night.
28
Another Clemens breaking ball.
29
Clemens delivers to Ryan Theriot.
30
Gotta love that classic scoreboard.
31
Clemens delivers to Derrek Lee who flies out to left field.
32
After watching the first inning from down low, we went to our seats for the rest of the game. They were on the upper level on the front row, just behind home plate. Quite a view!
33
Cubs fans look on during the top of the 2nd inning as the Astros bat.
34
Still the top of the 2nd, and Maddux delivers.
35
This shot is out of order, but was taken with our Canon point and shoot camera. Mitchell cannot believe his fortune. His first game at Wrigley Field features Roger Clemens against Greg Maddux - two 300 game winners.
36
Dad does not look too fat but has not eaten any Wrigley hot dogs yet either. I did change shirts, but that Rice cap is welded to my head.
37
Here is a shot from up high. Mitchell has his rally cap on.
38
Another shot of a couple of Astros fans.
39
Mitchell poses after the game. That faded Astro cap used to be mine. I lost it at Disneyland on the log ride, and when they mailed it to us it still smelled like the log ride. My wife washed it, it faded, and it has become Mitchell's favorite cap.
40
One more shot from up high at Wrigley.
41
A final shot of Greg Maddux as he looked while warming up. Also, a great example of how to keep that front shoulder in by having the glove out in front.
