May Day Photo Entry. Here is my entry in the May Day Photo Entry thingy. I wasn't as happy with it as I probably could be, but it's a start. I would've been more successful at home, I think.
But Meg is graduated! She has a degree! This is so wonderful! |
Miller Park and the Timber Rattlers.
Today my Dad and I had the opportunity to trek down to Miller Park in Milwaukee to take the ballpark tour. Our tourguide was a fella in his 40s named Brian who took us from the Hot Corner through the .300 club, the press box, the visitor's clubhouse and then onto the field and into the bullpen. It was a great experience and I'd really like to see the game played there. Click on the photo to see my pictures from the day. On our way back, we detoured through Appleton, WI to see Fox Cities Stadium, home of the single-A Timber Rattlers, part of the Seattle Mariners' organization and where A-Rod made his professional debut. We walked up to the ticket office and got seats for the evening's game against the Battle Creek Yankees. We arrived late (who starts a ballgame at 6:35?! Apparently the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.) but our seats were stellar. We were in the first row just to the right of the screen, to the left of the dugout. Not too shabby. Cost of the seats? $15. For Two. Brats were $3.25 and a giant beer was $5.25. Major Leagues, take note.
We saw some pretty good ball and some pretty bad ball. But it was worth it for the atmosphere, and being closer than the pitcher to home plate. Look tomorrow for my May Day gallery! |
