All Star Game 2012 ~ Part 2

The fourth and final day was the actual All Star Game. After tailgating we made our way into the stadium early to get a good spot to watch the players warm up. We were really close to the MLB Network and watched many top players get interviewed there, as well as other areas. It was a little disappointing that players were not signing autographs (and some weren't even acknowledging the fans) which we are still a little confused about. But that aside, it was an awesome experience. And I got to see Chipper Jones (my favorite player who is retiring this year) really close. Oh yeah, and he talked to a few of us as he was going into the dug out. I was giddy with excitement and the hubby and Braves fans we happened to be standing next to were thrilled too! 

The game wasn't that exciting since the National league killed the American league. However, the whole environment and fact that we were at the All Star Game and seeing some of the best players was awesome. Get ready for picture overload...

 Chipper Jones, Dan Uggla, and Bryce Harper! They walked out right in front of us from the dug out.

 Whelp, I got my picture taken with Chipper. Sort of...

The hubby got this shot on his phone ~ This was when Chipper said, "Hey guys! What's up?" :)
 Opening ceremony (though it's horrible quality and I don't know what's up with the weird coloring..)
 We were all given shirts to wear so the stadium looked like a giant flag

 End of the game ~ We had a blast!
