On the Road: Small Market Under a Big Sky in Clinton
To see all of my posts from this May 2015 visit to the Clinton LumberKings (this is Part One) click HERE. To see all of the posts from my May 2015 trip through the Midwest, click HERE. To see ALL of my "On the Road" posts (going back to 2010), click HERE.
Day Three of my 2015 road trip through the Midwest had me in Clinton, Iowa, for a Memorial Day doubleheader between the LumberKings and visiting Burlington Bees. It seems to be a matter of debate whether Clinton or Burlington is the smallest market in full-season Minor League Baseball. Regardless, there's no debate that both teams are distinct anomalies within a league (and industry) increasingly populated by shiny amenity-drenched ballparks located within downtown city centers.
The LumberKings play at Ashford University Field, which opened in 1937 as Riverview Stadium. It has been renovated several times through the decades, most recently in 2006, but retains a timeless, old-fashioned feel.
When I arrived at the ballpark, loiterers were nowhere to be found. Parking lot signage works! And here's a rhetorical question for you: How great is a sign that says "Warning: Baseball Games Played Here"?
Clouds don't obey signage, even if it is issued by a Class A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners. Many of them were loitering above the stadium, accentuating the beauty of the radiant blue sky.
After executing a successful 180 degree rotation of my body, I took a photo of the surrounding area. This is small-town Minor League Baseball, to be sure.
I entered the ballpark via the front office, which is identified by a sign that looks like it was made by a moonlighting park ranger.
Apropos of nothing, but one of the first individuals I was introduced to was a visiting clubhouse manager who bears a more than a passing resemblance to Mario Batali. This celebrity chef doppelganger is named Andy, though I failed to note his last name. It's not like I'm a professional journalist or anything.
I also made an acquaintance with a PA booth possum.
The PA booth is the domain of Brad Seward who, when not at the ballpark, works as director of operations for the Clinton County Area Solid Waste Agency.
Fans were beginning to filter in at this point, however slowly. Due to a rainout the night before, that day's start time had been moved up an hour in order to accommodate what would now be a pair of seven-inning games.
The LumberKings are a community-owned team, and throughout the afternoon I spent a lot of time speaking with members of the board who devote significant time and energy to keeping the franchise healthy and viable amid a rapidly-changing Minor League landscape. These interviews, largely arranged via LumberKings general manager Ted Tornow, will be the focus of an upcoming piece on MiLB.com.
Some snapshots of the ballpark stalwarts who will be featured in the piece.
But, again, I'll save that deeper dive into the LumberKings for an MiLB.com piece. Here on the blog, I'll simply offer a lackadaisical chronicle of what, again, was a beautiful day for baseball in Clinton, Iowa.
But before the professionals took the field, an amateur did. That amateur was a weirdo niche baseball writer by the name of: Me!
Another day, another city, another ceremonial first pitch perfect strike.

Thanks to Daniel Foley, a fellow baseball traveler who I crossed path with several times on this trip, for documenting this pitch on social media. (Note, also, mascot Louie the Lumberking poking his head out beyond the fence.) My ceremonial first pitch catcher was second baseman Nelson Ward, who has since been promoted to Class A Advanced Bakersfield. Let this be a message to players across the Minors — catch one of my ceremonial first pitches, and good things will happen to you.
Note, also, that the Midwest League is now using Richard A. Nussbaum-autographed baseballs. This past offseason, Nussbaum took over for longtime MWL president George Spelius. (I visited Spelius in his Beloit, Wisconsin, league office in 2013.)
Play ball!
The game(s) had begun, but this post has ended. Stay tuned for part two of this Clinton blog series, which, truth be told, will be very similar to part one. Why mess with a good thing?
On the Road: Eating in the Rain in Quad Cities
To see all of my posts from this May 2015 visit to the Quad Cities River Bandits (this is Part Two) click HERE. To see all of the posts from my May 2015 trip through the Midwest, click HERE. To see ALL of my "On the Road" posts (going back to 2010), click HERE.
If you read the previous post in this series, then you know that the Quad Cities River Bandits game I (attempted to) attend at Modern Woodmen Park was rained out. But while rain stopped the ballgame, it didn't stop my designated eater! (You know, the individual recruited to eat the ballpark cuisine that my gluten-free diet prohibits.)
At Modern Woodmen Park, that individual was Dean Birkhofer.
Dean, a retired math teacher, husband, father and Beatles fan, grew up in Wilton Junction, Iowa ("Junction" has since been dropped from the town name) and now lives in North Davenport. He was motivated to become a designated eater after receiving pressure from his daughter and son-in-law. (That son-in-law, Paul Worley, is a reader of this blog who contributed a "Why I Love" guest post this past February.)
Dean is a lifelong baseball fan, particularly of the Brooklyn-turned-Los Angeles Dodgers. So how did a kid from the Midwest come to like the Dodgers?
"I think I finally figured it out," said Dean. "My Dad played softball. He threw right and played center field….I think I came to associate him with Duke Snider. [My Dodgers fandom] solidified when I was six. I made a bet with my uncle on the '55 World Series, that I'd get a nickel if the Dodgers won. They won, and a couple weeks later I had to send him a letter. 'A bet's a bet.' He sent me 27 cents, which was probably all the change in his pocket, and of course I changed that into 27 baseball cards."
Fortunately for Dean and I, the River Bandits were willing to whip up a few special concession stand offerings despite the fact that the game had been called and the concession stands were closed.
We started with the "Pit Boss Burger" — an all-beef burger, cheddar cheese and in-house smoked BBQ pork.
Here's Dean, sauce all over his face, enjoying this delicacy.
Designated Eater checks in, @QCRiverBandits https://t.co/cWhgf3Qrki
— Benjamin Hill (@bensbiz) May 24, 2015
"Oh, it's awesome," he said. "Really good barbecue sauce. Tangy. It's going to be on my list when I come back for a game next year."
Dean then wiped his mouth with paper towels that he had brought from home. Dean was nothing if not prepared.
Dean was also prepared for the next item presented for his consumption: the Midwestern delicacy that is the pork tenderloin sandwich. Believe it or not, this thing is on a bun. It's just that the bun is obscured by the meat.
Have at it, Dean.
Dean opted to consume the the pork tenderloin sans condiments, remarking that "I'm a meat eater. Don't ruin it."
But first, the sandwich needed to cool off a bit. Dean, once again displaying an admirable level of preparation, passed the time by asking baseball trivia questions. One such question went as follows:
Who was the first player to hit two pinch-hit home runs in the same World Series?
I'll provide the answer at the end of this post.
As for the tenderloin, Dean said that he's a big fan of this sandwich in general and the River Bandits' iteration in particular. As for why he's a fan, he had a bit of trouble articulating.
"There's a taste. I don't know how to describe it. Yeah, I don't know," said. Dean. "This one's really good though."
Good? Yes. But the River Bandits don't make the area's best, according to Dean. That honor goes to Tc's Point After in Dewitt, Iowa.
Meanwhile, Dean complemented his sandwich consumption with a beverage housed in a collectible cup. Yep, it's time for a #cupdate!
But wait! Dean wasn't done yet. In addition to arriving at the ballpark with his own napkins and trivia questions, he had a also brought me a gift.
For those not in the "know," the above mini-helmet depicts the logo of the awkwardly-named "Swing of the Quad Cities." The franchise was known by this name — which referenced Bix Beiderbecke and the Quad Cities' jazz legacy — from 2004-07. The River Bandits moniker, which had been in use from 1992-2003, was readopted in 2008 and the team hasn't looked back since.
In fact, current River Bandits general manager Andrew Chesser was downright offended by Dean's mini-helmet offering.
"I'm a little sick to my stomach," he said.
I, for one, like the mini-helmet. I wear it every day here in the office.
And that'll do it for Dean and his Quad Cities River Bandits sandwich-eating experience. I'd like to express my thanks to both him and the team for being Designated Eating pioneers, as never before had the eating been done after the ballgame was postponed.
"It was awesome," said Dean, when all was said and done. "I just wish there was baseball to go with it."
Trivia Question Answer: The first player to hit two pinch-hit home runs in the same World Series was Chuck Essegian, who accomplished the feat in 1959 as a member of the
Brooklyn Los Angeles Dodgers.
Thanks for playing.
On the Road: Riding in the Rain in Quad Cities
To see all of my posts from this May 2015 visit to the Quad Cities River Bandits (this is Part One) click HERE. To see all of the posts from my May 2015 trip through the Midwest, click HERE. To see ALL of my "On the Road" posts (going back to 2010), click HERE.
My May 2015 Midwest road trip began on a beautiful Saturday night in Geneva, Illinois, home of the Kane County Cougars. The following day's destination was Davenport, Iowa, home of the Quad Cities River Bandits.
Whereas Saturday was beautiful, Sunday was gray, wet and altogether kinda depressing. But the show must go on.
After a car ride spent listening to episode #997 of "Floydian Slip" on 103.9 The River, I arrived at the River Bandits' home of Modern Woodmen Park. This stadium was built in 1931, making it one of the oldest in Minor League Baseball. Through the years it has undergone extensive renovations, however. It certainly doesn't feel 83 years old.
Parking lot views.
To my left, I could see the left field Ferris Wheel installed prior to last season.
While, behind me, a flock of birds had made the decision to get outta Davenport.
To get into the stadium, one must cross train tracks that are still frequently utilized by the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
The Ferris Wheel is the crown jewel of an ongoing effort by River Bandits' ownership to create a carnival-esque atmosphere at the ballpark. But as I arrived on Sunday morning, these amusements were not yet in use. It had recently rained, and it sure looked like it would rain again.
The Zipline was folded over, sitting in the shadow of the Centennial Bridge (which crosses the Mississippi River, connecting Davenport and Rock Island, Illinois).
The Space Camp ride had not achieved liftoff.
The Drop 'N Twist was not dropping. Nor was it twisting.
The tarp was just about the only thing in use. Even on a gloomy day, Modern Woodmen Park remains beautiful.
Rain or shine, the show must go on. River Bandits general manager Andrew Chesser gamely led me on a tour of the facility, showing off some of the latest improvements to Modern Woodmen Park along the way. (This is a team that is always improving. Main Street Baseball ownership group, led by Dave Heller, has shown a nearly messianic zeal in this regard.)
This room, located on the concourse down the third base line, used to be a storage closet. Now, it's a Birthday Room. Video games are forthcoming.
Further down the third base line, one finds this soon-to-be rooftop party deck.
"We're sandwiched by the Mississippi River, train tracks and historic parks on both sides of the stadium," said Andrew. "Building up is the only option we've got."
The River Bandits have three full-time staff members who only deal with non-baseball events, 150 to 175 of which take place every year. One key component of the non-baseball side of the equation is weddings. In fact, there was a wedding scheduled for later in the day. (Yes, it was Sunday. But it was Sunday of a holiday weekend and, thus, a Sunday in name only.)
Here, we visit the Sears Manufacturing Suite. Note, once again, the view of the Ferris Wheel.
This is the "Budweiser Champions Club," a multi-purpose room in which wedding ceremonies are sometimes held. I mean, who wouldn't want to get married in a room called the "Budweiser Champions Club"?
My tour went on hiatus at this point, as Andrew had to take part in some weather-related manager and umpire consultations down on the field. In the meantime, I spoke with a trio of long-time season ticket-holders: Frank (89), Shirley (the youngest-seeming 86-year-old I have ever met), and Douglas (I'm not sure of Douglas's age. What I can tell you is that he's a Cardinals fan who was mighty disappointed when the River Bandits switched affiliations to the Astros).
Frank, whose last name is "Wulf", has been attending games at this ballpark for 70 years. His late wife, Dorothy, was named the team's "Fan of the Century" in 2000. Dorothy attended the first game ever played here (in 1931, when it was called Municipal Stadium), and remained a fixture until her death in 2008.
Dorothy is memorialized at the ballpark with this outfield-area plaque.
With the tarp still on the field, River Bandits players appeared on the concourse for a 20-minute autograph session. There were plenty of River Bandits to go around.
Speaking of going around, it was time for my first-ever ballpark Ferris Wheel ride. My entire life had all been a stilted, uneventful prelude to this moment.
I rode the wheel along with River Bandits assistant general manager of amusements Mike Clark, who I believe is the only person in Minor League Baseball to have such a job title. Clark told me that a ride on the wheel lasts for 12 rotations — approximately four minutes.
Ferris Wheel views @QCRiverBanditshttps://t.co/qGgBL1Dase
— Benjamin Hill (@bensbiz) May 24, 2015
More views from the Ferris Wheel:
In which I insert myself into the narrative:
Shortly after the ride ended, an announcement came over the loudspeaker: Today's Midwest League contest between the River Bandits and visiting Peoria Chiefs would be postponed. It was 1:04 p.m. — 11 minutes before the game's scheduled start time. This may sound like a premature time to have bagged it, but the radar wasn't looking good.
The view from a deserted press box.
Game or no game, I still had work to do. After a post-postponement meeting with my designated eater (this will be chronicled in a separate post), I resumed my ballpark tour with general manager Andrew Chesser.
We strolled past the extensive Quad Cities Sports Hall of Fame…
and eventually made our way down to the home dugout.
More Centennial Bridge views!
More Ferris Wheel! This might be Class A, but nonetheless the Houston Astros organization puts together some really detailed scouting reports on the opposition. These were still hanging in the dugout after the rainout. I'm going to assume that they aren't confidential.
I'm just the dude who writes about ridiculous promos and dresses up as various racing food mascots. I can't begin to make sense of this stuff.
Walking back toward the home clubhouse, I noticed that the walls displayed evidence of a thorough punching. That's life in baseball for you.
Maybe those wall markings were caused by the Rock, in a fit of rage. The Rock oversees the trainer's area.
Back on the concourse, we stopped by the Cornfield Seats.
That patch of dirt, on the far left, is indeed a corn field. The corn will be "knee high by the Fourth of July," at which point the River Bandits will use it as a Field of Dreams style pre-game entrance area.
A brief detour to the team store soon followed.
One team, many hats @QCRiverBanditshttps://t.co/WyozUEfv47

My afternoon with the River Bandits ended back outside, right where I started. See those brick pillars?
See these rectangular base plates?
See this sidewalk to nowhere, roped off by a small length of chain?
Well, all of these things are integral to Modern Woodmen Park being able to withstand flooding from the Mississippi.
Read all about it HERE, in a piece I wrote for MiLB.com. It is truly fascinating. This picture was taken last season, just prior to a ballgame taking place as scheduled.
Believe it or not, there is still much more to come from Modern Woodmen Park. And good stuff, at that.
The show must go on.
On the Road: Heart Attacks and Raging Cougars in Kane County
To see all of my posts from this May 23, 2015 visit to the Kane County Cougars (this is Part Three) click HERE. To see all of the posts from my May 2015 trip through the Midwest, click HERE. To see all of my "On the Road" posts (going back to 2010), click HERE.
Regarding designated eaters, standard operating procedure calls for one (1) such individual to be recruited at each ballpark I visit. This individual will then consume, and be documented consuming, the ballpark cuisine that my gluten-free diet prohibits.
But standard operating procedures can be deviated, subverted, tweaked and outright ignored when the situation calls for it. The situation called for it in Kane County, as I recruited not one but — wait for it — two designated eaters.
That's David Lesser on the right and, because Lesser is more, Jason Bohn behind him and to the left. I asked both of these gentlemen to be designated eater, simply because they sent me an email asking for the privilege at exactly the same time. Tie goes to the eater.
The Cougars, led by the unstoppable force of hospitality that is public relations director Shawn Touney, provided David and Jason with seating in the new "Strike Zone" area behind home plate. This area includes wait staff service, which was coordinated in this case by food and beverage director Jon Williams.
So what do you have planned for these guys, Jon?
We began with the Heart Attack Burger, described by Jon in the above video as "Two grilled cheese sandwiches. In between that is a half-pound burger, grilled onions, fried egg, two strips of bacon and a bacon-chipotle mayo sauce."
Designated eaters check in, Heart Attack Burger, @kccougarshttps://t.co/rYb3aIymii
— Benjamin Hill (@bensbiz) May 24, 2015
Okay, let's take a moment to meet our designated eaters.
David, a long-ago West Michigan Whitecaps intern, was attending the game with his wife, Kristin. They live in Chicago; he works in the accounting department of a law firm and she as a fifth grade teacher. David enjoys Cougars games because "they put on a good show," and is a huge fan of Minor League Baseball in general. He said that he wanted to be a designated eater because it represented "a great chance to eat a lot of good food."
"My wife claims that when I got this opportunity, I was more excited than when we got married," said David.
"That's not a joke," added Kristen.
I then, apropos of nothing, asked David to name his favorite band of all time. He had to mullet over, but settled on Diamond Rio.
Of the Heart Attack burger, David said that "It's basically a patty melt with an egg on it, in between a grilled cheese sandwich. It's good. Really good."
Okay, let's move on to Jason, who was a considerably faster eater than was David.
Jason grew up in the idyllic vacation wonderland that is the Wisconsin Dells, and now lives in Milwaukee. After a stint doing software support for a tech company, he is about to begin a new position with the Better Business Bureau of Wisconsin. He had previously worked in the world of Minor League hockey, which gave him an appreciation for how such entities operate. These days, Jason loves visiting Minor League stadiums as they help facilitate his passion for "travel, sports and zoos." His favorite band is Ben Folds Five, whom he had recently seen play at a church.
"It was a hike to get here. I had to rent a car," said Jason of his designated eating motivation. "But I get to see a Minor League team I haven't seen yet, meet royalty — that's you — and eat at the same time. I mean, I might as well."
Jason accomplished his goal of not being "the first person to die of a heart attack while eating the Heart Attack Burger." He did eat the thing in 90 seconds flat, however, remarking that "I fasted all day for this."
"It's actually really good," he said. "It's obviously sloppy, but everything is quality."
Okay, next up: BBQ Pork Chop Sandwich. 10 ounces of butterflied boneless meat on a bun.
David was familiar with this item, which he said might already be his favorite ballpark concession item. ("The barbecue sauce is great.") In this photo he appears to be kissing the sandwich as opposed to eating it. To each his own.
As for Jason — blink and you miss him eating it. This man was a true speed demon.
"It's okay," he said. "I'm not really a big pork guy. It's all the same."
Next — more pork! A barbecue pulled pork sandwich, specifically.
Kristin, David's wife, volunteered to be photographed with this one because "My students will love it." Okay, Mrs. Lesser's fifth-grade students, this one's for you:
Meanwhile, Jason had pretty much eaten the whole thing by the time I was able to look in his direction.
Despite his already-professed lackluster pork opinions, Jason was effusive.
"The pork was tender and the barbecue wasn't overpowering. It never overtook the flavor of the awesome bun."
Meanwhile, I was provided with some cheese fries. Cheese fries are good. I enjoy them. I wish I had some right now.
Finally, our designated heroes enjoyed Oreo Churros for dessert.
"Excellent, and who doesn't like a big tub to dip it in?" said David. "Growing up a White Sox fan, these were one of the staples of the concourse."
Finally, it should be noted that David and Jason were drinking the new, team-branded "Raging Cougar Ale."
And in a collectible cup, no less.
"Two Brothers makes a lot of good beer," said David. "It's hoppy. It's good. I'm not good at giving descriptions, as you can tell."
"I know nothing about beer, and I'm from Milwaukee," said Jason. "It tastes like beer to me."
So there you have it, folks, a cavalcade of Kane County concessions. Thanks to David and Jason for their enthusiasm, Kristin for her humor and patience, Jon for his culinary expertise, Shawn for the generous accommodations and the Strike Zone waitress (I never got her name) who provided excellent service throughout.
That'll do it from Kane County, but this ramshackle one-man show of mine will be rolling on for months and months to come. Thanks, to you, for following along.
On the Road: Battling, Blasting and Bouncing in Kane County

When Part One of this Kane County content compendium concluded, the game had just begun and I was preparing to engage in something that I had never before engaged in.
Battle Balls.
That's me on the left and my opponent, Logan, on the right.
I would like to dedicate my victory to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers dugout, whose denizens offered words of support throughout my battle with Logan.
Next up on the evening's ever-evolving aganeda was a visit to the new "Strike Zone" seating area. This is where I would meet the evening's designated eaters.
We'll meet those designated eaters soon enough (in the next post, specifically). As the food was being consumed, we had the pleasure of witnessing a classic Zooperstars! routine. The Zooperstars! follow me around. They were in Jacksonville (the last stop of my last trip), and now here they were in Kane County (the first stop of my next trip).
Once the designated eating was complete, and all underwear-wearing men had skedaddled off of the field, I introduced myself to usher "Wild Bill" Bowers.
Wild Bill — wow, what an interesting guy to talk to. He's 91-years-old and has a great life perspective. I wrote an article about him for MiLB.com, which can be found HERE.
Upon concluding my conversation with Bill, Cougars director of public relations Shawn Touney and I commenced to wandering. My first groundbreaking and subversive ballpark joke of the road trip soon followed.
Your groundbreaking and subversive ballpark joke of the day, @kccougarshttps://t.co/H4FybMiLmX
— Benjamin Hill (@bensbiz) May 24, 2015
A beautiful day was fast evolving into a beautiful evening.
Shawn and I then worked our way behind the outfield fence, so that I could visit an old acquaintance.
That's Jack "Mr. Kaboom" Phelan, who I wrote an article about in the wake of my 2010 Kane County visit. Man, this feels like a long time ago:
As his nickname would imply, Mr. Kaboom's job is to set off in-game fireworks (such as when a Cougars player hits a home run). Click HERE to see a quick Instagram video of him in action.
He's still using the Delcor MP-20 as his preferred pyrotechnic-launching device.
Mr. Kaboom's perch provides a nice view of the ballgame.
The @TimberRattlers outfield kinda sorta does the hokey pokey https://t.co/J9qmdpnLRT
— Benjamin Hill (@bensbiz) May 24, 2015
After bidding adieu to Kaboom, Shawn and I just kept walking. From behind the outfield fence…
…and past a father and daughter having a catch…
…until, finally, we reached the Cougars Craft Beer Cave.
There's plenty to choose from. Beers are $6, which are opened and poured into a plastic cup upon purchase.
The Cougars fans, led by emcee Derek, believed that they would win.
They believe that they will win https://t.co/jmxtDIboOM
— Benjamin Hill (@bensbiz) May 24, 2015
They were wrong, as the visiting Wisconsin Timber Rattlers slithered away with a 5-3 victory.
There was still plenty of entertainment left this evening, however. First up was a performance by the Jesse White Tumblers, a Chicago-based acrobatic troupe founded in 1959 by — you guessed it — Jesse White. (White, for those keeping score at home, currently serves as Illinois secretary of state.) I did my best to document the tumblers in action. But, literally and figuratively, it was kind of a blur. That's Mr. White himself, wearing the red cap and white pants.
In this Vine video, White assists directly with one of the routines. (And credit to the girl being held up, who perseveres after taking a rolling somersault kick to the thigh.)

More tumblin'
Tumbling!!! https://t.co/Va2kV2Yne4 — Benjamin Hill (@bensbiz) May 24, 2015
I'm not exactly sure how it all happened, but at Shawn's suggestion Mr. White went ahead and inserted me into the final routine. Showtime!
The Tumblers were done, but the post-game entertainment was not. It was just one of those nights.
First, tennis balls were thrown onto the field with reckless abandon. Next up: fireworks.
Never have I ever taken a good photo of a fireworks display.
These fireworks had a "popular music" theme. As an avid chronicler of the zeitgeist, I made a point to write down the songs that played during the show:
"Uptown Funk" — Mick Ronson and Bruno Mars
"Shower" — Becky G
"You Make Me Feel" —
"Weird Al" Yankovic Cobra Starship
"Blank Space" — Taylor Swift
"What Makes You Beautiful" — One Direction
"Lips are Movin' — Megan Trainor
"Ugly Heart" — G.R.L.
"All Alone on the Grass" — Ben's Biz
If you thought the night was over now — THINK AGAIN.
It was now time for thousands — literally, thousands — of people to run the bases.
At 10:26, the last base-runners rounded third and crossed the plate.
But if you thought the night was over now — THINK AGAIN AGAIN!
The scouts, not yet ready to retire to their tents, were now readying to watch a screening of Big Hero 6 on the videoboard.
But I wasn't about to take part in that particular Geneva convention. I had had enough. Thank you and good night from Fifth Third Bank Ballpark, where, apparently, the fun never ends.
And when visiting Fifth Third Bank Ballpark, please remember:

On the Road: Tent Pitchers and Catchers in Kane County
To see all of my posts from this May 23, 2015 visit to the Kane County Cougars (this is Part One) click HERE. To see all of the posts from my May 2015 trip through the Midwest, click HERE. To see all of my "On the Road" posts (going back to 2010), click HERE.
Long-time readers of this long-time blogging concern might remember that, yes, I have visited the Kane County Cougars before. It was on Labor Day, 2010, a speedily played afternoon game on the last day of the season. There was a melancholy vibe at the ballpark that day; summer was giving way to autumn and thus it was time to say goodbye to Minor League Baseball.
My most recent visit, which kicked off my May 2015 Midwest-based road trip, was the yin to that yang. It was May 23, the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, and the ballpark vibe was lighthearted and celebratory. Spring was giving way to summer and thus it was time to welcome Minor League Baseball with open arms.
Hello, Kane County! Time to take a crooked photo.
The Cougars have played in the same ballpark since their 1991 inception. The last time I visited it was known as "Philip B. Elfstrom Stadium," but these days it carries the moniker of "Fifth Third Bank Ballpark." (There are a lot of Fifth Third Bank ballparks around the Minors these days. It's getting kind of annoying.)
The ballpark is located on the grounds of the Kane County Forest Preserve, in the town of Geneva, Illinois. The parking lot is spacious.
"Camp Local," says one of the brochures on this Forest Preserve bulletin board.
How's this for camping local? The Cougars were hosting a scout camp out that evening, with the scouts pitching their tents in a field located, literally, across the pond. (This field, accessible via bridge, was located just beyond the right field berm seating area.)
Most fans in attendance would be leaving the ballpark after the game. For those wondering what to do when leaving the ballpark…
My ballpark wanderings began here, in Fifth Third Bank Ballpark's spacious front lobby.
Shawn Touney, the Cougars director of public relations and a very helpful and proactive guy, met me here and began showing me around. This is the new Strike Zone seating area: $69 for a four-top ($89 on fireworks nights).
The picture above shows the view from the radio booth. I was in said booth for a pre-game interview with Cougars announcer Joe Brand.
Brand, in his second year in Kane County, is seeking to become the latest Cougars broadcaster to make it to the Major Leagues. If he accomplishes this goal, he'd join the meritorious likes of Scott Franzke (Phillies), Wayne Randazzo (Mets) and Dave Wills (Rays).
Fifth Third Bank Ballpark (which, henceforth, I will refer to as "FTTB") covers a lot of acreage. This is the view beyond right field.
Beyond the flag and beyond the inflatables, there were the aforementioned tents.
As game-time approached, this legion of future tent-sleepers took part in a pre-game parade.
I needed to head plate-ward myself. Realizing that I had thrown out more than my share of ceremonial first pitches, the Cougars asked me to instead be the "ceremonial first pitch catcher."
Cougars reliever Cody Geyer, a frequent first pitch catcher, was psyched to have the day off. Here he shares some of the tricks of the ceremonial first pitch-catching trade.
Geyer warned me that balls bouncing in the dirt were an occupational hazard, but both of the pitches that I caught came in high and true. (Even better, no one complained that some weirdo writer was catching the balls instead of a Cougars player.)
Holy cow its the legendary @bensbiz playing ceremonial first catcher. Is there a catcher #cupdate ? pic.twitter.com/mMuN3M06av

I quickly swapped out one pair of balls for another.
It was time for a softee toss. I was to be a softee tosser.
"Look for energetic kids, and get some height on the throws because it's fun to watch [the fans] jump for it," said Logan, a member of the promo team.
I did my best. And, as usual, my best ends up looking weird and awkward.
The softee ball toss got the fans all Francis Scott Keyed up. It was time for the National Anthem .
The National Anthem featured "bombs bursting in air" fireworks courtesy of Cougars pyrotechnic expert Jack "Mr. Kaboom" Phelan, who I've written about before and will write about again. Certainly, this was not an atmosphere lacking in patriotic flourish.
With the game underway, my promo team cohorts and I retreated to a tunnel alongside the visitor's dugout.
I had already caught balls and tossed balls, but even more balls were in my Kane County future.
Battle Balls, to be specific.

1932 U.S. Caramel Lou Gehrig #26 SGC 70 EX+ 5.5. Heritage has had the opportunity to offer dozens of lots featuring cards from the 1932 U.S. Caramel baseball and presidents series. We have had multiple Babe Ruth cards and a set of US Presidents that included the extremely rare McKinley card. So it came as surprise to learn this is the R328 Lou Gehrig cards in our history. The offered card is nicely centered with clean surfaces and corners that show light to modest amounts of wear at the tips. The red backdrop is blemish-free, the smiling portrait of the Iron Horse is precisely registered. This is one of two at the EX+ level with just two others graded higher by SGC.

"Terible quality"
- 1.0
- 1.0
I will not recomend to anyone who does not to demage their eyes. The resolution is terible, unless you are planing to watch it on 1 inch screen! Even with highest video size witch is only 352x288 they compress the picture so somethimes pixels are one soo large that it is patetic. And than only then we will find out that this is not a free software that if you realy want any decent quality you need to pay. My recomendation is if you are going to pay softonic should be you last choice where to look

Label: Shut Up Records, Dead Broke Rekerds
Manager: Andrew Oldham
Bio: Severance Package is a classic punk power trio featuring the vocal and songwriting talents of Robin and Josh Indar (Black Fork, Lott Lyzzyrd) and powered by the double-fisted percussion of veteran Chico rocker Mike Erpino (Breakouts, Special Forces, Deviants). Reminiscent of X, Dead Moon and Bon ...See Full Bio
SEVERANCE PACKAGE has a show on 06/09/2014 at 08:00 PM @ Duffy's Tavern in Chico, CA http://www.reverbnation.com/p/KGX1EA #concert
"Severance Package is a raw, powerful garage rock band... likely to scare the living hell out of the average indie rock college kid. The core songwriting duo of wife and husband Robin and Josh Indar formerly fronted Black Fork--pretty much the best band on Lookout! in the mid-90s. New drummer Michael Erpino also played in legendary bands such as Special Forces. This experience culminates in S/P's raw, visceral, high-energy sounds. The refined songwriting and lyrical themes clearly suggest adult punks with and understanding of the worls, broad perspectives from life experiences, and a big smartass grin to help wash the glorious bitterness down...""

The Campagnolo Neutron Ultra Campagnolo Compatible Wheelset is a version of the Neutron but has an extremely low weight you must feel it to believe it. The secret Precise dimensioning of the walls and top bridge of the rim and the spectacular carbon fibre hubs. Neutron have calibrated extrusions for the hi-tech rims and hubs with carbon body and aluminium flanges. The wheel characteristics are exceptional: lightness, reactivity, and lateral rigidity when off the saddle, while the very light hubs make them stand out among competing products. The wheels therefore maintain all the features which have made them famous: lightness, reactivity, lateral rigidity when off the saddle and exalt them, thanks to the new lighter hubs. The rims are welded and their braking surface turned. These are fabulous wheels for routes featuring considerable altitude differences or for very long competitions, where performance and comfort must coexist.

NOTE FROM A STUDENT: "Jude, this comes to say how very much I enjoyed your workshop at the Forestry Center, and I think you will be pleased to know I have been putting your teaching to use. I recently purchased a good journal and have just finished my second page, with the topic being my trip to Cape Perpetua yesterday. And yes, I am liking the effect I get with the paints I purchased. This morning I painted my sketches with your book at hand for ideas on how to handle the rocks and ocean especially. The worksop day was so full with the excellent art show, and the added bonus of the John Muir prints - a very inspiring day." ~ Best wishes, Lynda

Who Will Disrupt the Public Good?
A few other market failures, which have resulted in excess demand:
1. Space for your blanket at the park on a cool summer
2. Seats on the bus during rush hour
3. Public housing. So cheap!
4. Walking space on the sidewalk, especially in those busy shopping neighborhoods
5. Snow removal
6. Clean water
This undercharging is ruining my overall User Experience. And frankly, Haystack's lack of a parking space derivatives function makes me think they're not serious about extracting capital from parking spaces. And no private traffic police, to enforce the contracts and prevent outsiders from stealing paid places? There is money to be made. Where are my apps?

Speedy LoanRead MoreY JetSki indulges aquatic adventurers with a fleet of luxurious boats and action-ready jet skis. Voyagers of the excursion will cruise along the shores of Miami from Star Island to the high-rises of downtown in a 60-foot Gulf Craft yacht. Tunes, complimentary drinks, and snacks make it a floating party, like a hot air balloon filled with cocktail wieners. During the nighttime outing, softer music accompanies the journey as the city lights bathe the boat in a peaceful glow. Alternatively, plot your own course with 90 minutes atop an ocean-carving jet ski. Seven days a week, the high-powered watercraft propel wave wizards along Miami's dazzling coastline and all over the ocean bay. When fatigue sets in, jetters can anchor, relax, and illicitly sand-castle-smash at the nearby sandbar.6300 San Mateo Blvd NEAlbuquerque, NM US
