July 22 - Was kind of tired after the three day drive, so
I didn't really get going until the afternoon. Finally, we got out
and went to the Philadelphia Art Museum. I was extrememly suprised at
their Impressionistic collection; there were fully 9 paintings that I
recocnized. Good museum. We ate dinner, and then went to the game.
Well, remember the rain I drove the on the 21st? Evidently, it had
rained the game out that night, so they were making it up with a
double-header today. We arrived in the seventh inning of the first
game. Philly beat San Diego 4-2, but I didn't see any of the runs.
Between games, they had a Philadelphia celebrity home run contest,
and we got to see 7 foot, 6 inch Philadelphia 76er center try to
swing a toothpick that would be a bat for you or me. The second game
had three rain delays, shades of Wrigley. When it was finally over at
1:54, San Diego had pounded Philly 8-3. Gwynn went 7-9 in the
double-header. Scary.
