Too lazy to search all 15 pages of the thread, but did anyone note that Americana singer-songwriter Steve Earle was seated in the second row behind home plate? I'm friends of his former drummer in his band The Dukes, Will Rigby. I just texted a video of Steve doing the wave late in the game. 

Looks like he was on the right side of this photo behind the screen.

Good catch. Yep, that's him. Someone told me tonight that he lives up there now. His old drummer Will Rigby caught a Durham Bulls game with me this year. We try to do one or two every year. He told me while on tour, they'd try to catch MLB games on off days.

Does he have a Baltimore connection? I know he was in The Wire.

Not that I know of. I think it's more of a David Simon connection than the city itself. Simon also cast him in his Treme series. 

It's funny, the thing that tipped me off that it really was Steve Earle is the way he sort of rolls his head when he speaks, like his Walon character did on the Wire, like when he was mentoring Bubbles or giving an AA speech.

And tonight, Bob Weir in the house! 

 

Just kidding.

Nice tagout Adley!

Oops!  Wrong thread.  I'm sure Adley would have made the play yesterday if he had the chance.
