Day 126—Toledo Mud Hens


Tonight in Toledo, thunderstorms threatened to postpone the MudHens game, but after over an hour-long rain delay, the tarp was removed off the field and the game got going. The Mud Hens play their games at Fifth Third Field, located in downtown Toledo. While most of Toledo’s downtown seemed somewhat abandoned, the area around the ballpark appeared to have some new life to it. The stadium is only five years old, and was actually built in the same location as first professional baseball stadium in the city, built in 1883. For all you M*A*S*H fans out there, you might remember that the Mud Hens were the favorite team of Max Klinger. The actor who played Klinger—Jamie Farr—does video intros before the game about the ground rules of the stadium. Thanks to Cheri for getting us set up and letting us throw out the first pitch!
