We joined my cousin Cheryl and her husband, and a friend for the day. The husband and friend were two football players Hubby coached his first year of teaching & coaching. Small world.
we missed the first few innings of the first game
not a big crowd at 10 in the morning
Minnesota won the first game against Utah
the Cactus league folks were getting the stadium ready
for their season opener
new seats were installed this past week
inventory was arriving for the sales shops
party tents were up and ready for parties
we all were wanting to see this young man
a local boy from SD, known to the other 3 folks
Hubby met his parents and grandparents
I bet my dad knew Conner's grandfather
Oregon State, the Beavers, were well represented
at the second game
MN lost by 1 run
end of the game huddle before the players were allowed
to talk to family
Cheryl talked to a parent of a MN player. We learned the players attend classes Monday through Thursday noon. They get on a plane and fly to warmer destinations for a weekend of baseball, returning to Minneapolis on Sunday evening. They practice during the week at an indoor facility until it is appropriate weather for outdoor baseball in MN. The team will play in North Carolina, Georgia, Washington, Utah and Missouri before beginning their season at home.
Surprise Stadium was built in 2002 & holds 10,000
