For those of you who are already counting down the days to the 2011 Ironpigs season may want to subtract 2 days from your countdown. As I was casually browsing through the Ironpigs website I took a look at the “Printable” pdf 2011 schedule. There it was, highlighted in red for all to see, a home game, on Tuesday, April 5th at 6:35 PM, a full 2 days and 30 minutes before I thought there would be AAA baseball in Allentown. Well, 50% AAA baseball and 50% AA baseball as the opponent once again will be the Reading Phillies. That’s good enough for me. If my math is correct, that makes 111 days until the first pitch at Coca-Cola Park. Now that’s something to get excited about on a day when the temperature barely made it into the low 20’s. Can the signing of Andy Tracy be far behind?

That’s great to hear. I would have thought it would have been in Reading since it was here last year. You better get to it…that’s 2 days less until our goal 😉 Only 35 lbs for me!!
I’m at 203 Heather.. what are you talking about…….. 😉
would 50% AAA and 50% AA be 100% AAa?
The Reading game is (historically has been) meaningless, because no official scorer is at the game and thus, no official boxscore made available to the media (MAJOR HINT, PIGS FRONT OFFICE…)
Bob, I’ll get your ticket if you keep score and send me the box score.. We’ll make it Noise Nation official! 🙂
Perhaps Reading’s renovations at FirstEnergy won’t be completed in time to host the ‘battle of 222.’
I actually was invited to tour First Energy Saturday morning. I suppose they would be done… at least the structural changes. Going to wear my R-Phils contruction hat with pride!
