I'm soo excited to be going up to Ohio tomorrow to visit my dad. In addition to seeing my family, we're taking in 4 baseball games...Cleveland Indians, Columbus Clippers, Akron Aeros, and Lake County Captains, all four part of the Indians organization! We'll be seeing Lake County and Cleveland play on Thursday and Friday and Columbus and Akron next week. Since I moved to NC last summer, I haven't been to a Tribe game in over a year, which has been brutal since I'm used to going to 8-10 games a year! I went to a minor league game in Florida when I was visiting my grandparents on spring break, but other than that game, I haven't been to any professional baseball game in over a year! Talk about baseball withdrawal!
I plan on taking my camera and taking lots of pics since I probably haven't seen most of the Indians roster, the Clippers have a new stadium and this is their first year as the Indians AAA team, and I haven't been to Lake County in a couple of years. My mom went to a Kinston Indians game this past weekend when she was on vacation and took some awesome pictures for me.
Even though the Tribe is playing less-than-stellar baseball, I am totally psyched for the game on Friday! I get to see David Huff pitch, since Aaron Laffey will be going on one more rehab start! Although, I am very disappointed I won't get to see Mark DeRosa play. I also can't wait to see Akron play and see Carlos Santana and Nick Weglarz !
It will also be exciting to be in the Cleveland area with all the talk about the Cavs wanting to sign Charlie Villanueva! Hopefully, I will get my fill of Cleveland sports during the first week and a half of July!
