Whoa! We raised the most amount so far in Myrtle Beach! Most of it was due in part to the “Awesome Premium Pelicans Prize Pack” (our name for it, not theirs) that Jackie put together for our raffle, featuring a Pelicans bobblehead, t-shirt, foam hand, four tickets to a game, and a team signed ball!

It was “Wear Your Pajamas to the Ballpark” night, so a few fans were dressed more casually than normal. The stadium is a fan-friendly environment, complete with a beach section down the third base line. If you get a large group together, you can sit in beach chairs and sink your toes into the sand. There are even a few lifeguard stands scattered about as well. Some of the more obscure facts about Coastal Federal Field include:

Did you know in 2004, Baseball America rated Coastal Federal Field as the #2 Class-A level ballpark in the United States? It’s true.

The first World Record Broken at the stadium involved the “Most People Wearing Groucho Marx Glasses at the Same Time” - 1,827 funny looking Pelicans fans, on June 7, 2005.

In August of 2000, a car had veered off of 21st Avenue North and crashed into the left field wall. Nobody was injured.

The Pelicans staff treated us so well—making sure that we were able to raise as much money as possible. I also had a chance to go on the Salem Avalanche (visiting team) radio, and talk a little bit more about the Tour. However, the best part of the night featured Chris and I dressing up in yet another costume. This time it was sumo wrestling, and we battled it out against one another in front of the crowd. Chris got a few cheap shots in before we even started, but once we started to rumble I was all business. In the words of Johnny Drama, I achieved VICTORY!
