Last night went to The Diamond to see the Richmond Flying Squirrels play the Akron Rubberducks. Both are AA baseball teams. This was my first game of the year. I don't get to go as often as I would like but sure enjoy the games. The Diamond is an old facility and the team has been pushing for a new ballpark, but it seems to be taking a while. That said, it works and they draw a large crowd for each game that I have been go over the years
Akron player at bat here. It was a neat night in that my employer had a suite there, and we also had a lot of food as well as air conditioning. I did go outside a few times but that air was nice. Last couple of weeks we got a dose of early summer which is continuing into actual official summer. In fact mentioned this on the two motorcycle rides I have taken around this game on my "Racing with the Wind" blog. This night was no exception with temps and heat index in the 90's.
As for the game was a great deal of fun to watch. Richmond lost though made a run at it. I like this game and hoping to go back this year.
Coming up on vacation soon and that will be fun if I can get some more of this in I will do so. The Squirrels are also known for some of the better firework displays in town. That is a good thing a Richmond is not having its big display this year on the river again for the second year in a row. Are some around though planned and hope to see a few sky displays this 4th of July.
