We sat in section 124, row H which is directly behind home plate. We had tickets for the Diamond Club which is the exclusive area where you can eat. After we got our arm bands for admittance, we were then able to check the tab on our tickets which would pay for our food and drinks. After weighing the option of made to order v. buffet, we went against our usual judgment and selected the buffet. The fact it was all you can eat throughout the entire game, I was sold. We got seats on the deck above our seats and had dinner. By the fourth inning, we figured it was about time to leave the food behind and find our seats.Tilly was treated to a masterful pitching performance from the Braves Tim Hudson with the offense provided by future superstar Yunel Escobar. If you are not familiar with Escobar, go check him out as he's going to be a name everyone will know real soon. It was great to take Tilly to see the new park, but the best for me was getting Tilly to wear an Atlanta Braves cap (retro 1972 Atlanta Braves All-Star hat). She wants to adopt a local team, but as I told her "a house divided will not stand" so she happily wore the Braves cap. She did pretend to be confused by who the Braves were and cheered incorrectly on a couple occasions, but by the end she bought into greatest team in professional sports. I might be a tad bias of course. As for me, I was decked out in my ratted out Braves cap along with a Jeff Francoeur t-shirt. I was not working, so I got to be "that" fan rooting for the opposing team at the home team's ballpark. Unsurprisingly, I enjoyed my role as the Braves fan at Nationals Park. Somehow my picture never made it on the scoreboard.
