Finally got around to processing a few of the photos I took a couple of weeks ago.

What's the name of the hotel you can see in the background of the 4th pic? It looks like a hotel anyway.

Nice ball park. I've watched about 3-4 games there this season and plan on going up again in a few weeks when the Chattanooga Lookouts return to town. Was up last Saturday and watch the Smokies play the Biscuits (Tampa Bay affiliate). Rocco Baldelli was playing on a rehab stint. I love watching these pros get sent down and play against lower level guys. You can just see they are heads and shoulders above everyone else. Baldelli got 3 ABs, hit a homerun and the other 2 balls were hit hard. I think he ended 2-3. Watched Smoltz pitch there a few weeks back before he finally called it a season.

Can still remember watching Ankiel pitch in Johnson City for the Cards after his wild stint with St . Louis. You could tell he was a major league pitching to rookie league guys. They couldn't touch him.

Went down last night and watched them play the Mudcats. Smokies won 5-4 with a broken bat, bases loaded single in the bottom of the 9th. Pretty good game. Smokies hit back to back homeruns in the bottom of the 3rd, and then the Mudcats hit back to back to back homers in the top of the 4th. Nice park and atmosphere!
