Saw my buddy/grandkid Madeline at the Salem-Myrtle Beach game this evening. Salem's been pretty awful of late (four straight shutouts, one of which it won) and it blew a pretty good lead tonight. I didn't stay, so I have no clue who won.Frankly, I'm not so sure that more than 10 percent of the people in the Salem Red Sox park at any given moment give a purple poop who wins. Last night's crowd was reported at more than capacity for the 5,500-seat stadium (6,100) for a team that had just lost three straight shutouts. It's such a pretty place to watch a game, though, that the baseball is often secondary.

ReplyDeleteLOL... that's how I look at it too. Salem Ballpark is a great place to take clients. And not too expensive for family outings, either.
Can't wait to join you for a game in July! We miss going to the games with you guys!
ReplyDeletePete: When you coming up? I'm going to N.C. to a high school reunion so I can do some work on a book I'm planning. I'll tell you about it. Dang good one. Cross between "Breaking Away" and "Hoosiers" except that it takes place on a square dance floor. Trash talking square dancers. Believe it!
