Consumerist.com has some good tips for getting tickets for your favorite baseball team. Here is an excerpt:
Bonus tip: Rules are made to be broken.
“We’d have people come in with unused tickets from months ago or rainout tickets that were way past their exchange date (even from previous years). Despite what you’d be told if […]
We got an early start today because we had to exchange our rental car due to the fact it had too many miles on it. It was a bit sad to say goodbye to our not so beloved Pontiac G6 with the poor paint job, but we got over it as soon as we found […]
This morning we headed to Midland to see the Loons, who recently located to Midland after calling Battle Creek, MI their home for the past decade. Apparently the team (then known as the Southwest Michigan Devil Rays) had such a hard time getting people to the ballpark. At one time they even tried giving $1 […]
Brrr! South Bend was a bit chilly on Sunday, but a decent sized crowd came out to see the SilverHawks play. We had a chance to talk with Swoop the mascot before the game, and he was kind enough to autograph a Swoop bobblehead for our raffle. Thanks to Amy for getting us such great […]
We made it to Fort Wayne, but barely. Coming from Richmond, VA the previous night, we were faced with an 11-hour drive starting at 10pm on Friday night. We had to be in Fort Wayne by 3pm the following day. You do the math. We had an abbreviated slumber party at a Maryland Holiday Inn, […]
We arrived in Richmond in the late afternoon just in time to get a quick bite to eat before heading to “The Diamond.” Built in 1964, it went through some major renovations in 1985. The stadium reminds me of the huge concrete bowl structures that were oh so popular in the 1970s, such as the […]
A month into the Tour, and we celebrate it by having our game in Lynchburg rained out. The game last year in Lynchburg was also rained out, so it seems as if Mother Nature is not our friend in Lynchburg, VA.
On a plus note, we got to stay in Broadway, VA with Cari and […]
First off, I think the Intimidators is a great name for a baseball team. Up until ten years ago, they were the Peidmont Phillies and the Peidmont Boll Weevils. In 2000, Dale Earnhardt purchased a share in the team’s ownership. It was then that the name was changed to the Kannapolis Intimidators, in honor of […]
Early morning game = Education Day. Chris has been looking forward to coming to Asheville, ever since I told him the story about Joe Mikulik, the Asheville Tourists manager. (We’ll get to that story in a minute.) The Tourists play their games at McCormick Field, which is built on top and into the side of […]
The first thing you realize when you get our of your car at Lewis-Gale Medical Center Field at Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium (besides the fact that it takes you 15 seconds to say the name of the ballpark) is the fact that it’s windy. Really windy. So much so that you wonder how anyone plays […]
