Clinton and Burlington both got hosed. Clinton replaced their affiliated team with a wood bat league team. Not sure about the Bees.Whichever one got closed in iowa that rustled all of @torbee jimmies
Except for the outfield seating, it looks a little like old Victory Field in Indianapolis, home of the Indianapolis Indians.My local team is the AAA Gwinnett Stripers. It's nice enough. I usually try to get over there a few times a year or when they host the Buffalo Bisons.
There's an American Legion field within walking distance of my house that hosts a "league" of teams made up of college players home playing for the summer. Mostly low-mid level college players, but with some SEC and ACC kids mixed in. I was looking forward to taking in some games there last summer before Covid wiped out the season. Looking forward to walking down and taking in some baseball and beers a few times this summer.
This is the stadium I grew up going to watch the Buffalo Bisons, to which we had season tickets a few years. Long since torn down, but it's the stadium where they filmed The Natural. It was built in 1937, and the Bills played there as well until 1973. It was a dump, but that also meant it felt every bit of being in a ballpark built in the 1930s which was pretty special.
Yeah, @torbee and I are going to catch a Bandits game or two when I'm back in Iowa next month.I don’t know why kids are so afraid of Rascal the River Bandit.
Always thought Charlotte could be a good baseball city for a pro team.
that's my team right there! A buddy of mine used to get season tickets near the first base dugout and we would heckle the shit out of the other teams. Our best one was when Larry Broadway was batting the bat flew out of his hands and we started chanting "K-Y Larry!" He started laughing.Isotopes.
They did do an alternate jersey a few years ago that was solid.
In 19 I went to 8 games. We had a connection for box seats. With restrictions being lifted I will take the kids this fall.that's my team right there!

Maybe I'll see you there! It's such a great stadium, always a fun time!In 19 I went to 8 games. We had a connection for box seats. With restrictions being lifted I will take the kids this fall.
You live in ABQ?Maybe I'll see you there! It's such a great stadium, always a fun time!
I've never golfed in my life. I think I would be pretty terrible at it.Well shit, I am in ABQ. You golf?
Drink beer?I've never golfed in my life. I think I would be pretty terrible at it.
This is what Des Moines needs to do. Might we an expensive remodel but worth it.Charlotte Knights here. Great ballpark downtown.
Want to get together at a brewery and swap Iowa stories?I do
Heck yeah, I'd be down for thatWant to get together at a brewery and swap Iowa stories?
Wish they would have stayed as the 51'sThe Las Vegas Aviators.
But, it sounds as if my local team will be the Las Vegas Athletics!
Too scary looking, life size.Why is the mascot not some type of corn?

And yeah, it’s kinda horse-shitty.
He's actually an ear of peeling corn with a baseball head...Why is the mascot not some type of corn?
Dude. CR went 1-5 against QC after 5-1 to start the year. Especially ugly giving up a few one run losses there. Damn, Bandits! Guess its revenge for knocking you guys out in the playoffs both in 2015 and in the last season before Covid...
Wide-eyed, mouth agape like he's drooling, and rocking a mangina. Pretty creepy. But I think that's made him all the more the fixture in the psyche of the city.Why do I think this is the creepist mascot ever?
So the mascot is a humanoid figure with its face and scalp peeled down around its shoulders!?He's actually an ear of peeling corn with a baseball head...
