Ben, Spencer and I went to the Diamondbacks game last night at Chase Field. This was their reward for accomplishing the summer library reading challenge--free tickets to a Diamondbacks game. So I asked them what they liked most about the game-- they gave me list.
1. Free bobble head toy of player Dan Haren
2. Diamondbacks hot dog
3. Using binoculars
4. Watching the moving ball sculpture outside the ballpark
Note the absence of anything to do with baseball. Yep we went to a major league baseball game and their favorite thing was the toy.
I've got to admit, the game was great, but the moving ball sculpture was really cool and kept us watching for quite a while. After some searching I found some information about the contraption -- I wish I had a good picture, but none of my cell phone pics turned out. Check out the artist George Rhoads' web site. Or check out his catalog of work. He is my favorite artist for the week -- he does painting and novels too--lives in Tucson I think and has sculptures all over the world.
