Every year i forget..........



Every year i forget the beauty of Minor League Baseball. Tonight me and some of my Cronies went to the new Park in Stockton, Ca to watch a Stockton Ports game. One of the things that is so wonderful about minor league ball is that they make the game so accessible to the fans. You can sit very close to the field for a very fair price (sometimes as low as $4 per person). Between every inning they have some sort of promotion where anyone in the staduim can win. Not like a promotion at the major league level where one lucky fan is going to win a Cadillac Escalade, of course you never see that fan, not to mention its one of 50,000 people so you chances are very slim...... A just so you know............everything that happens in that stadium is sponsored by something or someone. so if someone in the crowd sneezes, you will undoubtedly hear the announcer say in his microphone, that sneeze was brought to by kleenex available at your local Save Mart.

A group of 8 went to this game where the Ports of Stockton battled the mighty Blaze of Bakersfield and our group got two fould balls....NO JOKE TWO!!!!! we gave them to the little kids in our group and you should have seen their faces, it was so important to them, because to them it might as well of been a Major League game. After the game we even got a grounds crew member to sign their ball, it was amazing to see how important they felt by getting an autograph and being out at a big league game. So if there is a minor league team around you and you are looking for a good time and a fairly inexpensive activity, go check out your local minor league affiliate.....
