At 3:20 p.m. Monday in Syracuse, N.Y.
Was the walk onto the center field warning track worth it for my dear wife Karen and I on Monday afternoon at the Syracuse Mets’ NBT Bank Stadium worth it?
As mid-afternoon looked like midnight, I aimed my iPhone a little ways away from the eclipsed sun and captured this scene.
The waiting in lines, worrying about clouds, not seeing a lot of the pre-eclipse convergence because of the cover … yeah, this moment made it special.
Once in a lifetime, I said as we walked off the field.
I’ll share a few more photos the next couple of days.

These events are amazing things, Mark. I remember seeing one as a kid, and it was so eerie how darkness faded in from having bright sunshine, and then just as quickly faded out.

The sudden fall of darkness and quick turn back won’t be forgotten by this guy, Bruce.

My son called from Cleveland, Ohio and he said it was such an incredible experience.
I am so happy you got to experience it.
We had 60% partial eclipse and it was still fun to watch.

Those of us who experienced any percentage at all were fortunate, Nance!
