Day 40—West Tenn Diamond Jaxx
May 15th, 2007 by Tim Riley
We continued our travels across the state of Tennessee, which is actually quite a nice state to drive through. The West Tenn Diamond Jaxx is located in between Nashville and Memphis, and the stadium is literally located in the middle of nowhere off a highway. The West Tenn Diamond Jaxx got their name from their affiliate, the Arizona Diamondbacks. The team’s logo is a miner with an ax made out of baseball bats. Interesting enough, the miner has a strong resemble to the Pringles potota chip guy. And wouldn’t you know it, the Diamond Jaxx play their games at Pringle Park!

It was also Mother’s Day today, and I think most people stayed away from Pringle Park and spent time with their moms rather than watch the Diamond Jaxx. The attendance was paltry at best. Fortunately, the Diamond Jaxx were playing the Montgomery Biscuits and I was able to meet up with Jim from the Montgomery Biscuits radio station and do an inning in the booth.
After the game, we headed to the theatre to see the newest summer blockbuster, Spiderman 3. Although not as strong as its predecessors, it was worthy of seeing it on the big screen. Chris and I give it two thumbs up. Tomorrow: Birmingham Barons.
Tim and Chris,
Glad to hear your trip is going well. Hope to see you guys soon.
