I would have to say opening night with the new Southern Illinois
Miners in town when we scored the game tying run and the lights were
immediately turned off for the forthcoming fireworks.  Everyone had to
wait for the bulbs to warm back up.  The Grizzlies went on to win and
the firworks were nice too.  Never seen that happen at a game before.
  Another one was catching Dustin Roberts' walk off home run and then
listening to the Southern Illinois loss on the PA system as the
Grizzlies clinched the West.  I had Dustin sign the ball after the
game and I have it in my basement.

CNBC.com is holding a minor league logo contest.  It's in an NCAA
formated tournament that started with 64 logos.  They've concluded the
first round and River City and Southern Illinois have advanced.
Evansville was in it, but lost a close vote in the first round.  It's
also kind of neat to browse some of the other nicknames and logos that
are out there.  Hopefully, Frontier League fans will vote for these
two remaining logos.  What is good for the other teams in the league
is usually good for us even though we are rivals on the field.

Glad to see the Sliders have apparently found a legitimate home.  The
league website today said a new ballpark is being built in Clarkston
(suburban Detroit) and they are to become the Oakland County Cruisers.
  Like the car theme obviously tying into Detroit.  The commissioner
also said he hopes to put another team in Michigan and tap into the
Cleveland and Kansas City areas.  I remember him saying a couple years
ago he hoped to bring the league to Detroit and Kansas City.  It
appears as if he has delivered on Detroit.  This is good news the
Sliders will have a home after their upcoming nomadic season and can
only make for a stronger and more viable league.

My most memorable moments not necessarily in order:
1. The division clincher
2. The diamond dig
3. Meeting Prince Joe Henry and watching the players in old Negro
League uniforms. (If the Grizzlies do the tribute again, I hope they
have a vendor or two selling Negro League memorabilia.)

I enjoy Minor League baseball for the following reasons:

1. Close to the action.
2. Foul ball opportunities
3. You can smell the grass
4. See tomorrow's MLB players today (My grandson has a Grizzlies
T-Shirt signed by Scott Patterson.
5. Family safe (who would let their 8 year old leave their seat at
Busch to buy a hotdog.)
6. Family of 4 can attend for $20.00
7.  Players & staff are approachable.
8.  etc.
