On Monday June 30, 2014, I attended the Nationals vs the Rockies game in DC. The day was also a Bobblehead Give-A-Way for a Bryce Harper Bobblehead. The Give-A-Way was given out to the first 25,000 fans and was sponsored by PNC bank.

Prior to the game, I went to Gordon Biersch off M Street by the Stadium (http://www.gordonbiersch.com/locations/navy-yard/largeparties). This is one of the few bars/restaurants close by the stadium, and they have a decent Happy Hour from 4-7pm. I had gotten off the Metro well before gate opening so I decided to swing by Gordon Biersch. I ended up getting the fish tacos and Hefeweizen beer, both on Happy Hour. The tacos were about $7 and the beer was about $4/$5.

While at Gordon Biersch I even got to see part of a World Cup game, Germany vs. Algeria. After finishing my food I headed over to the Stadium since the gates were about to open in 5 mins.

The line was longer than normal at gate opening, but nothing too crazy. It only took about 5-10 mins to get in the stadium and get my Bobblehead.

| Bryce Harper Bobblehead |
The pitchers for the game was Jordan Zimmerman for the Nationals vs. Yohan Flande for the Rockies. The first 3 innings both pitchers went scoreless. In the bottom of the 4th inning Flande gave up a run and Bryce Harper got a RBI with Ryan Zimmerman scoring. The Rockies answered back in the top of the 6th by scoring 2 runs. In the bottom of the 6th the Nationals bats came alive and scored 5 runs. Both the Rockies and the Nationals would go on to score 1 more run and the game ended with the Nationals winning 7-3.
When leaving the stadium I got to take a few good shots of some of the views from the stadium which I hadn't noticed before (from the Left Field Upper Deck area). I got a good view of the Capitol and the Washington Monument.
