Whenever I go to American Chemical Society meetings in major cities I try to take in a baseball game. I have seen games in Fenway Park (1998, 2002), Wrigley Field (2001), and RFK Stadium (2005). In 1999 we saw a New Orleans Saints pre-season game at the Louisiana Superdome. This year we lucked out since the Philadelphia Philles were home against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday August 19th, our last night in town. Last season the Mets lost 12 out of their last 17 games and lost the National League East to the Phillies. We were able to buy tickets on the Internet. We wore our Met hats to the game and routed for the Nationals. The Phillies came from behind to win 5-4. We were watching the scoreboard and noticed that the Mets were behind the Atlanta Braves 3-2 in the 8th inning as the Phillies game ended. When we arrived back in our hotel room we found out that the Mets rallied in the 8th inning to win 7-3 to maintain their 1 1/2 game lead over the Phillies.
