October 11, 2007 Recap: NLCS Game 1 – Rockies 5, Diamondbacks 1 Several days ago I decided to take my daughter to the baseball game. These were not the two teams nobody expected to see in the season 2007, as it was NLCS Recap Rockies v. Diamondbacks. Probably, one should ask why did I take my daughter with me, as baseball is traditionally the game for strong men, and the vast majority of spectators are male.

This game was really interesting, as it was the very Thursday night, when Jeff Francis outpitched Brandon Webb, as he pitched 6 2/3 strong innings, Brad Hawpe got the big hit, reached base 3 times and drove in 2 runs as Colorado cruised to a 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks, winning the NL championship series opener that was interrupted when the angry fans that were frustrated by the umpires disputed interference call started to threw water bottles and objects onto the baseball field.
As I remember, the game was exciting and the spectators liked it from the very beginning to the very end. The moment when fans starter to throw objects couldnt spoil the game, as soon after some objects landed near the Rockies players, umpires pulled the teams off the baseball field in the bottom of the 7th inning. The delay lasted about eight minutes, and after that umpire crew chief Tim McClelland said to Hurdle to have Francis throw a pitch and finally “fight through it”. After he did, the Rockies team escaped a jam and their bullpen did the rest. Every time I attend a baseball game with my daughter I ask myself a question, and every time this question remains without an answer. Probably, there are other world countries, where people go crazy about baseball like in America; however, I have a doubt that the very meaning and predestination of any other world country can be so clearly and visibly seen in its sport games. America, like no other country, has much in common with baseball game.
