Although it was a doubleheader day, today was pretty light due to the fact that we weren’t able to set anything up in either stadium. Tough front office crowd, I guess. This morning the Legends hosted the local kids for another Education Day, and I have to say there is something surreal about hearing thousands of kids sing along “OOO-WOOO, EEEE-OOO” to Gwen Stefani’s “The Sweet Escape” as it blasts over the sound system. The Lexington Legends’ most recognizable player is Coby Clemens, son of Roger, who actually played a game last year with his dad when he was getting ready to rejoin the Astros in mid-season. Thanks to Eric for getting us tickets for the game.

The Dayton Dragons’ stadium, Fifth Third Field, is THE place to be in Dayton, OH. This team packs in the crowd, averaging 8,375 fans per game, or 116% of capacity. Earlier in the season, the team reached a milestone in terms of attendance—they had their 500th consecutive sellout, which is supposedly the longest streak in all of sports. Even more impressive is the fact that the Dragons have only been in Dayton since 2000. We headed out shortly after the game to Cincinatti in order to prepare ourselves for the busy day ahead of us.
