    R-Phils games are a good time. Even though the lines can get a bit busy, go during Glutton Night(pretty sweet name) where you can get premium seats and all you can eat for about $15.

    yes! I need to check out gluttony night!

    does lunch meat city = Lebanon?

    C'mooooon.....Philly, of course.


    hahahah.....I guess I over-thought that one. I was thinking Lebanon Bologna

    Yesterday we took my 10 year old son to a clinic for children of employees of my company at the Reading Phillies stadium. The kids had lunch with the players and the kids got balls that they took around and all the players signed them. Then they took the kids in small groups and worked with them on batting, pitching, fielding. It was a lot of fun, we got to see some of the inner workings of the stadium - the indoor batting cage and the video room. The players seemed to be having a good time too, I thought it was a great thing for them to do.

    Been to a Trenton thunder,Scranton Wilkes-Barre,Delmarva Shorebirds and soon a Lakewood Blueclaws game. Gotta love paying 10-12 dollars for seats at the dugout.
    Go Birds!!!!

    I went to a Richmond game a few seasons ago when Dontrelle Willis was sent down for the first time. I did not even know he was starting that day until he walked out to the mound. It was a pretty cool surprise.

    Yeah, I enjoy going to Salt Lake Bees games. They're an affiliate of the Anaheim Angels (or are they California? I can't keep up).

    Fun time, for an affordable price. Beer on a hot day in the stands of a ballpark? Yes please.


    Just went last night. Fresno was in town.

    Also go to the Ogden Raptors games. Either town is 120 miles from home, but that is as close as anything is to my little corner of the world. I love minor league games. We traveled through Montana and into Canada a few years back and made a Minor League Road trip. Medicine Hat Blue Jays, Calgary Canons, Casper Ghosts.

    FYI - The Mermaid Parade is tomorrow too. Best bet is subway into the area.

    Went to NB rock Cats (Twins) vs the Portland Sea Dogs (Red sox) Last night. 6$ beers, 3$ dogs. Can't beat those prices.

    The Salt Lake Bees have Thirsty Thursday too, but they roll out the tiny ass cups that night! Shameless bastards.

    I have not.... but we have a couple college summer teams here.

    One of my high school teachers is the PA Announcer for one of them. Said he'd give me some free tickets... I might check it out.

    Once in a while. Vancouver has an A team - the Vancouver Canadians. They play in a beautiful little ballpark - Nat Bailey Stadium - so on a nice day, it's a fun thing to do. But it used to be a triple-A team. Since they became single-A, it's pretty lame.
