Baseball Season?
Today is January 20th, 2010. It got up to 65° outside this afternoon and the weather was relatively nice. Tonight, I attended the annual Hickory Crawdads Hot Stove Banquet where Jon Daniels, the General Manager of the Texas Rangers, gave the key note address (pictured above). I got to see a lot of the folks from L.P. Frans Stadium... team owners... staff... and quite a few of the regular fans and season ticket holders at the park. It was great! The only problem is that baseball season is still about 3 months away.
The Crawdads schedule this season, in my opinion, is about as bad as it gets as far as season schedules are concerned. I know these rotations happen occasionally, but we start the season and end the season with 8-game road trips. We are also on the road on the Fourth of July.
I think I'm gonna change my seats this season and move from behind the third base dugout to a new location... I'll let you know how that goes. I need to stop by the stadium one day next week :)
