Baseball in Richmond

Last week Susan and I took the boys to see Pawtucket play down at the Diamond. The R-Braves won the first game with a bases loaded wild pitch in the 7 inning. It was quite a let down and somewhat uninspiring win. Pawtucket did come back and win the second game. It was a double header game because the Monday night game was called because of poor field condition from some rain Sunday night and early Monday morning. The weather was awesome for a game in July (low humidity and a nice breeze). We sat right behind the 3rd base dugout (1 row back). There were quite a few Red Sox fans out to support Pawtucket. Even the guy running to be the governor of Red Sox's Nation for Virginia was in attendance. The boys really enjoyed the game but to tell the truth what they wanted the most was to catch a fly ball or have one of the players throw them one during the inning change. We are going back to see at least one more game at the end of July before the R-Braves leave Richmond at the end of this season.
