Tonight our game was at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium, home of the Wichita Wranglers. Originally built in 1934, it has undergone some major renovations. The playing field has a very unique look—the infield is made out of turf but the outfield is grass. It’s kind of an odd combination. The stadium is also home to the National […]
I’m not posting a picture with this post because I want to express the fact that there isn’t really anything to photograph as soon as you get past Denver, CO on the way to Kansas. I did get to see an old CFAR friend Holen Katz in Boulder before heading east to Wichita.
Today started off with a 6-hour drive from Montana to Utah, arriving in Ogden around 2pm. The weather in Ogden was pretty intense—it felt like it was pushing 100 degrees in the direct sun. Unfortunately for the Tour for the Cure the raffle was also fairly limited due to circumstances out of our control. Today’s […]
Tonight’s game was threatened by the weather—before the game some nasty wind and rain came through and delayed the start of the game for about an hour, but eventually the weather held up and we were able to have the game AND the raffle. The Brewers were taking on the Billings Mustangs, and luckily it […]
Montana is really the best state to drive through.
It has been approaching 100 degrees here in Montana, and today it seemed like the hottest it’s been on the trip to date. The Mustangs play their games at Cobb Field, which is not named after Ty Cobb, but rather Bob Cobb, who was responsible for bringing professional baseball to the town of Billings. Seinfeld […]
I would have never thought last year that I would be spending the Fourth of July in Great Falls, Montana. But here I am at the Great Falls White Sox game doing just that. The crowd was a record setting 4,651—and the ballpark was packed. Thanks to Bob for helping me out with everything and […]
Today’s drive in Montana was one of the most scenic to date, and Montana is probably the best state to drive through. The first of four games in Montana featured the Missoula Osprey taking on the Billings Mustangs, and what a game it was. In the bottom of the ninth, the Osprey rallied from four […]
The last stop in the state of Washington was in Spokane home of the Indians. The team’s home field, Avista Stadium, has been around since 1958 and is a fairly large park compared to those in the Northwest League. It has also been named “Northwest League Field of the Year” seven times since 1997. Tonight […]
Just north of Seattle, the Everett AquaSox play Everett Memorial Stadium. Today we raffled off a Jay Buhner signed ball along with a team signed ball—thanks to Brian, Rick and Dwight Schrute for helping me out. They call this one intern Dwight Schrute (from the tv show The Office) because both the GM and the […]
