Baseball is Baseball

Well, I managed to go to a baseball game yesterday and not sign someone's arm. More successful grilling from me and I feel rather pleased by that. A skill may be forming in that regard.

Yesterday Miller Park hosted one of the Brewers minor league teams. Minor league baseball is still pretty good baseball. Both the Brewers and their minor league affiliate Timber Rattlers won last night, which is nice.

Maybe it's because the major league team names are so familiar, so many of them have years of history behind them, but the minor league team names seem to have a little more creativity behind them. On the board we saw a team named the Silver Hawks. You could have a whole Hawks division if you wanted: silver, red, blue... yes blue. Why not? The names can be silly if we like.

There was a Dragons, a Whitecaps, a Tincaps, a Loons, all sorts of different names. Still, who who want to play as a Loon. Well, besides me.
