This hopes to be a combined labor of love from both Pete and me and our baseball adventures. We found each other as two Cardinals fans in Cub country, we met in 'The Summer That Saved Baseball' and enjoyed the end of the home-run race to beat 61 together. Since then we have seen hundreds of games together in hundreds of parks of every level. We have developed our own vernacular while watching and scoring the game. It permeates every corner of our life (in a good way!).
So hopefully, some fun stories and definitely some amazing photos, hope you enjoy!
This summer we finally got a dream come true, a minor league park within short driving distance from home. We "Got Hooked" into the
Lakeshore Chinooks inaugural season and once or twice a week make the drive up to Mequon (about 20 minutes) to see our Fish take out the competition. It's a lot of fun. The park is very nice, intimate with a couple challenges that they are working on solving for next season.
It offers Pete a ton of opportunities for photos including this gem of infielder German "Big Poppi" Reyes beating out a throw to first. I love the windmill feel of this shot. And of course nothing beats the vivid Green and Brown of the field in the bright light of the Lakeshore Sunset
(more of those later!)
