A view of Anaheim Stadium of Anaheim from the back row in the far right field upper deck. This is always the best seat to get a great fisheye shot from!
Anaheim Stadium of Anaheim is home to the Anaheim Angels baseball team.
Enough Anaheim’s for ya? Try saying the name of the stadium five times fast!
OK, so I did some research. The Angles beat the Rangers by the final score of 7-4. Who knew!
I Caught a Foul Ball!!!
Me and my foul ball!
The Angles were up. I’m pretty sure the batter was Mike Nappoli. Me and my buddy Meeks were 7 rows behind 1st base. The ball went up. It looked like it was coming right towards me. I looked up. Put both of my hands together. And it landed in my hand!
A wave of pure childhood glee swept over me as I started screaming in the least-manly way possible, “Oh my god! I just caught a foul ball! Holy S*&^!” I’ve been to hundreds of baseball games and have never even come close. Even writing this story, a year later, still brings a huge smile to my face!
Anaheim Angles stadium is surrounded by pretty much nothing
Take a look at the giant baseball hats in the above photo of the front of Anaheim Stadium of Anaheim. Now look at the below photo. Those abstract-looking lines are actually the metal frame of the giant baseball hats, shot from inside and below at 13mm.
This photo has become one of my personal favorites having nothing to do with baseball.
The Angels’ stadium is located in Anaheim, California, which is a suburb of Los Angeles. Located between Katella Avenue to the north and the Orange Freeway to the east, there’s pretty much nothing in the surrounding area.
The Big A in the parking lot is taller than anything in any surrounding neighborhood.
Angel Stadium has been the home of the Angels since they left Los Angeles for Anaheim in 1966. Before the move, the Angles actually spent four seasons playing baseball in Dodger Stadium.
I'm pretty sure I identified this seat as the farthest from home plate in right field.
I had to walk a long way from my seats (below) to find the vantage point in far right field above.
Torii Hunter at Bat vs Texas
Torii Hunter was always one of my favorite outfielders during his career.
Fireworks go off any time an Angle hits a home run.
