Chase Headley (07/28/13)

Chase Headley, San Diego Padres Third Baseman

I was in Arizona for a baseball tournament and attended a Diamondbacks game. This was my first time at Chase Field. The Arizona Diamondbacks played against the San Diego Padres. I showed up early to catch the batting practice and try to get autograph.


Here's a picture of the front of the stadium. It was a very hot day (103 degrees) and luckily the stadium has a retractable roof, which was closed for the game. I had a field level seat, located down the right field line. I was sitting about 15 rows away from the field on the San Diego Padres side. Since I showed up early, I moved down and hung around by the wall.




Several minutes before game time the San Diego Padres starters came out to warm up. Once I saw Chase Headley come out, my goal was to obtain his autograph. I watched him warm up and as soon as he finished I called his name. He looked right at me and came over.

Chase Headley signed autographs at Chase Field.

I told Chase I was from the New York area and we've been hearing rumors about him getting traded to the New York Yankees. He laughed and said he's been hearing a lot of rumors.

Here's the view of the game from my seat. The San Diego Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 1-0. Chase hit a triple in the first inning and shortly after scored the only run of the game. It was a great game, but the highlight was Chase taking some time to sign autographs for the fans. I will forever be a Chase Headley fan. Thanks, Chase!.
