We started the day thinking we had off, and had plenty of time to make the 7-hour drive to Casper, Wyoming. Turns out we had a game today and realized it when we woke up. Thirty minutes later we were on our way to Wyoming heading to see the Casper Rockies take on the Idaho Falls Chukars (not a misspelling.) As it turns out, we missed a raucous opening day game the night before, but tonight at the ballpark was “Guaranteed Win Wednesday”—if the Rockies did not win the game, every fan was offered a ticket to a future Rockies game. If the Phillies did that, they would be in trouble as they are currently approaching their landmark 10,000th loss.

We did a lot at the ballpark tonight—I threw out the first pitch, went on the radio for an inning, and had a great raffle for a team signed bat. Special thanks to Matt and his staff for helping us out tonight! The fans were especially generous and we raised a good amount of money for the size of the crowd. As for the game, it went into extra innings and the Chukars eventally came out victorious, meaning that everyone at the ballpark got a free ticket for a future game. I think “Guaranteed Win Wednesday” is one of my favorite promotions I’ve seen so far. Tomorrow we have the day off as we make our way back across Wyoming to the great potato loving state of Idaho.
