Stretch Time! - Chase Field

Another Sunday game means another round of singing "God Bless America." Instead of having a soloist perform like we saw at Oakland, the Diamondbacks' organist accompanied the fans as patriotic images flashed across the big screen. Then it was time again for "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," the sixteenth time we've sung it this trip. It was fun to see the organist interact with fans as he started up the familiar tune.

Today was the fourteenth birthday celebration of D. Baxter the Bobcat, which meant that all the mascots from other teams and colleges in the area were there to celebrate with him and the fans. After the first two songs of the stretch were over, the mascots led the crowd in the chicken dance, accompanied by a recording. Watching a giant gorilla, cardinal, sundevil, snake, and more was definitely a highlight of the non-baseball aspects of the experience at Chase Field.
