Last night we took a break from research, and went to the baseball game-the Ft. Wayne TinCaps vs. the Quad City River Bandits. We've been driving by this new stadium and were curious about the name of the team and their logo. This is the place where Johnny Appleseed died and it's the name of our campground. The logo is an apple with a tin pan on, but it not only has a handle, it also has a tree branch protruding-it looks like a tin cap. They have there own version you can buy, similar to the cheesehead hats. Anyway, the stadium is fantastic and the tickets are cheap. The game was great and the TinCaps won, but the audience partcipation was fantastic. They had something for kids going on at every break, and it was nice to see families having so much fun. The game the night before was rained out, so we got to see the end of that game also-and they won. The first two pictures were before the scheduled game started-it was almost full on a Monday night.
A bunch of people who were celebrating their birthdays got to pitch a ball to the catcher-one of them was a little guy who waddled like a duck-he was really cute!
Here are some happy fans appearing on the screen.
Here's Johnny!
It was a fun evening. After the game, they let kids run the bases-how neat!
