A second straight 8-hour travel day, and boy are our arms tired. After the long journey, we arrived at our hotel only to find out it was the wrong one—the correct hotel with the same name was located just a few blocks away. After a brief tour through the French Quarter we headed to Zephyr Field, which is located slightly outside the city of New Orleans. The game was a throwback to the year 1997—Chan Ho Park was pitching, Sandy Alomar Jr. (yes, he still plays) was catching. Ricky Ledee, a former Phillie and Dodger was even playing in the outfield. This team’s lineup is practically on par with that of the Washington Nationals! (After doing some research, it turns out the Zephyrs were indeed an affiliate of the Nationals until this year—they are now a triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets and I’m sure could fight for 4th place in the NL East.)

Thanks to Marc for getting us two great items for our raffle! It was another great night for fundraising (our 2nd highest night to date) and we were thrilled to be welcomed so kindly by the Zephyrs fans. Tomorrow: Houston Astros.
