PLAAAAAY BAAAAALLL!

One of our Christmas gifts was a 'deluxe' 1 & 1/2 hour tour of one of our fav spots - Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. We were allowed into places that the normal tours never go, and our group was only 7 folks, so we got plenty of time to see everything. It was GREAT fun!
Papa was especially excited to get into the home dugout! He could certainly pass for one of the coaches.
Our D-backs are a very young franchise and already have a World Series trophy under their belts. This is on display in the "Wow Lobby", the entrance to the business offices that is meant to impress. It WAS nice, but our biggest kicks were yet to come.......
We were allowed inside the team locker room, which was great fun. Some players are still in town and come to the park to work out. They leave their equipment in their lockers, and we saw the 'mighty four' lockers in all their glory (or disarray!) Reynolds, Upton, Young, and Byrnes
The digital command center. From this station they watch every camera in the stadium, choose the replays, fan shots, and set the tone of the 'digital show'.
This is the locker room 'boom box'! I've NEVER seen a portable system with that size speakers! When we asked our guide about it his response was, "well, these are young guys........"
I'm guessing that locker room rattles when they crank that thing!
