Cool Toy
I want one of THESE too!
There have been many comments. Big Dogs, a clothing company that specializes in T-Shirts with images that often have a dog theme (obviously from the name) have two new ones for Vick. I have posted them here. I doubt they will mind.
Day six was an easy day. The drive from Durham to Winston-Salem was only a couple of hours and the stadium was fairly easy to find. We actually had enough time to kill in W-S that we went and saw the Bourne Ultimatum that afternoon. When we got to the stadium though our good karma from the cheap tickets early in the week came back to bite us. It was Christian Concert night and all tickets were $12 which was by far the most expensive seats we had seen all week.
Day five had leaving Columbia and heading north for Durham, NC to see the Bulls (made famous in the movie Bull Durham) play. First can our bout of excitement followed by a quest.
Day Four was the Charlotte Knights and the Toledo Mud Hens, but first it was barbecue to die for. We had lunch at Little Pigs Barbecue. This was buffet with several types of pulled pork, wet and dry ribs, baked and barbecued chicken and a vast array of vegetables and salads. Not to mention the banana pudding for dessert. A lovely way to spend an hour or two. Check their times before going, they are open odd hours.
Day Three brought us to Columbia South Carolina to see the Blowfish face the New Bern River Rats. These teams are only kind of professional. The players are actually college players in a summer league designed to give them more experience. These teams are members of the Coastal Plain League. The league has teams in South and North Carolina and southern Virginia. The other change was that our sister who lives in Columbia joined us for this game the one on Day Four in Charlotte. It was only fair to take her to the games with us since we slept at her house for these two nights.
Back to the baseball trip soon, but first, I want one of THESE!!!!
Day was scheduled to be in Charleston. We were hoping for better weather after Monday's rain out. Fortunately for the whole trip, Charleston had been rained out on Monday as well so there would be a double header on Tuesday. The Charleston Riverdogs were going to play two with the Hickory Crawdads.
We started our baseball trip in Savannah with a game between the Sand Gnats and the Greensboro Grasshoppers. We went down early and wandered through City Market spending a fair amount of time in the art galleries. This is an area that has finally become what the developers said it would be, namely a center for local artists and the arts. There was a very lovely painting of the Tybee Lighthouse from the beach rather than the more typical view from the river that was very appealing. While I thought about acquiring it, the $500 pricetag was enough to dissuade me.
With more (far more) detail to follow, I have almost completed my week-long vacation of baseball. All I need to do now is go home. Which I shall do soon. In the past seven days, my brother and I have seen seven games with one rainout and one double header, keeping the numbers even. One one potential catastrophe which led to one of the most abs0urd quests ever. (Don't try to purchase an automobile tire in the greater Concord/Kannapolis/China Grove section of North Carolina.)
