It had been way too long since we had seen them and we had a fabulous time catching up on their activities and those of their three awesome kiddos. I should say, catching up, while it was raining outside.
Scheduled game time was 7:10 PM. We left them about 7:15 and walked toward the park. After our normal park exploration, which typically takes about 45 minutes, we snapped a picture of the surroundings.
Tarp still on the field, it was then that we learned that first pitch had been re-scheduled for 8:50 PM. We grabbed a $1 hot dog (you have too when it is $1 hot dog night ... this is our fourth such encounter).
At 8:48 PM, first pitch was thrown and we avoided our third serious threat of a rainout! Feeling pretty blessed.
By the way, check out that screen ... 221 x 59 (feet) ... the largest in MLB.
We really liked progressive field and it was a great game for the home team (10-0). Among the nuances of the park is that fact that they play classic rock-n-roll for all of the stadium music (makes sense given this is the home of the rock-n-roll hall of fame).
The game was followed by our second set of fireworks (the first being in Detroit), set to the music of the women of rock. It was great ... even a bit better that Detroit. Given that it was already late, we had no problem deciding to go ahead and stick around.
Off to Washington D.C.
