What a Great Day! Oh, The Ironpigs Lost Again Too..

Today the Noise Nation made it out to volunteer at the Miracle League game in Schnecksville. This is a great program with an incredible field and even more incredible people! The field is located on Sell Road just off 309 out near the Trexler Game Preserve (or whatever it’s called now) and is beautiful. I arrived a little early and folks started filtering in for the game scheduled for 2:00. If you’ve never been to a Miracle League game.. check it out. They are fun and heartwarming. There is a scoreboard and PA announcer… even a foodstand!

The kids had a great time and as our beloved Ironpigs inspired team took the field against the Pirates I was able to relive those great little league memories that have long since faded. To be able to share and give these children those same memories is an invaluable experience. The league runs through October, I believe, and volunteers are always needed.

So the Pigs lost another game in the 10th inning. They have now been swept in two consecutive series at home.

I did notice there was a wedding held at the park tonight! The highlight of the evening was when the bride, in her cindarella looking dress, ran the bases with a child after the game. As you know, after every Sunday home game, kids are invited to run the bases. I wonder when the Silver Pigs will be invited to Stroll the Bases after a game? Something I’ve seen done in the past.. just wondering… but I’m not THAT old yet 🙂

Tomorrow is dog day and my 11 year old Weimaraner Wally will be in attendance. At least he will be if the trash can is in one piece overnight.

Also learned today that John Mayberry was optioned back to the Pigs and most likely Bastardo will return to the Phillies.

That’s all I have for tonight.

OinK!
