The roof opens...
imagine a HUGE garage
roof on a remote!

The game begins...
the Big Unit is on
the mound...in front of
a packed stadium!

The game itself was a great one with the Diamondbacks coming from behind to tie the score 4-4 on Luis Gonzalez's 452 foot homer. Unfortunately for the home team, the top of the ninth was an ugly sight... but Wednesday was another story!
