I went to this game with my buddy Matt, we arrived at the stadium around 3:30, I was the forth person in line. The weather looked shaky, it rained for like 2 minutes before the stadium opened, thankfully the rain would hold off til after BP.

I only got one ball at BP at this game, it was a ground rule double hit by an unknown Brewer, it bounced up into the row behind where I was, and I turned around and grabbed it. After BP, I did my usual routine. Me and Matt had bleacher general admission tickets (that's the only tickets I buy).

Then, the rain came. Here are 3 pictures of the tarp goin' on the field, then it comin' off, and then the clean-up process.
Okay, well here's the story about my first HR, in the top of the sixth, I was standin' above the lower bleachers, when Rickie Weeks hit a long fly to left, I ran halfway down the steps, when the ball bounced in the 3rd or 4th row, when it bounced some guy without a glove tried to get the ball, but he dropped it, when I reached down and I picked it up. I couldn't believe it at first, I just got my first game HR ball, I ran around and shouted like a little kid on Christmas.
HIGHLIGHT OF THE HOMERUN!
It was Rickie Weeks' 78th career HR.
After I got the ball, me and Matt walked over by section 140, and he took this picture for me, with my first game HR ball.
We left shortly after.
When I got home, I took the 2 usual pictures.
