It’s June! Short Season A started a few weeks ago and although the original Staten Island home opener (and my first game of the year there) got rained out on the 20th, I decided I wanted to go to on the 25th which happened to be the new date for the home opener. And then I went again on the 27th because I love minor league baseball.
Sure, it’s not good baseball but it’s fun. Where else can you see Subway Series Mets-like defense at every game? Every routine play is an adventure!!
In all seriousness, minor league baseball rules and if you live in the area you should check out Richmond County Bank Ballpark. Big boats go by, the beer costs about as much as it does in a bar and it’s all very fun. Need some more convincing? Here’s my first batch of photos from the year:
