Just got back from my first game at Petco Park, the Padres brand new ballpark. I must say that it's quite an impressive structure. And a Padres victory made it all the better.

One interesting thing to note: Between the 3rd and 4th innings, the Marine Corps Hymn was played over the loudspeakers to honor about 250 Marine recruits who often attend Sunday ballgames from the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego. As the song began, the Marine recruits received a standing ovation that lasted throughout the entire 2-3 minute break.

This definitely isn't Berkeley.
