Fireworks last night...different than usual.

(I used pictures from the web so you could see what we actually saw last night)

 

The picture above is a similar view from our seats at the Indianapolis Indians baseball game last night.  We have made a tradition of going to a baseball game on July 4.  In Indy you can watch a baseball game, view the fireworks offered by the ballpark and then stay in your seat and watch the fireworks downtown.  It is a spectacular show! The game this year was slow at first with the Louisville Bats hitting a homerun in their first at bat.  Eventually the game picked up and the score was tied at the end of the 9th. This is where things got interesting.  On all other July 4ths we watched the game, then the Victory Field fireworks and then the city fireworks.  As the 10th inning began we new the game would not end before the city fireworks would start.  Imagine watching an All American baseball game with a spectacular fireworks display in the background.  If you look again at the picture above, the fireworks were shot off right beyond center field.



I couldn't find any stock pictures of the game with the fireworks in the background.  Our own pics were horrible mostly because the lights were on in the baseball field and it caused a bad camera glare.  In person the sight was fabulous!

As the city fireworks reached their finale, the game ended too.  Unfortunately the Indians lost.  But we stayed in our seats and then watched the Victory Field show.
