Minor League

I decided to go with the All-You-Can-Eat seats in left field the second time I went. First time was Row 22 above the first-base dugout. I give Camden credit. It's an awesome experience. It didn't hurt my experience any that Luke Scott was in left against the Braves the second time ... And felt the need to constantly "stretch" ... Good times. Good times.

Never been to Camden, is it really in a bad part of town? I heard it was a rough location.

Ive only been to Atlanta and Cincy, both Fulton Co. Stadium and Turner Field in ATL and GAB in Cincy. Cincy is a VERY nice ballpark, cool layout. ATL has tons of fun stuff to do inside the ballpark, its my favorite. Fulton Co.was cool too, but it was nowhere near as modern and nice as Turner is.

Ive not seen many games, saw ATL play Philly in a two game series when I was younger, saw ATL play Cleveland and Chicago Cubs once a piece and saw Cincy play the Dodgers on our senior trip.

No sir. It's in an extremely nice part of town. They built the football stadium right next to it, and you walk a few blocks in front of it, and boom.. inner harbor with all the fun stuff.
I love Baltimore, my dads mom is from there, so we've been going there for as far back as I can remember. There really isn't one "rough" section... I walked from downtown, all the way out to the fort. No problems. Just gotta know how to talk to those Balmers!

My last time up, I sat 6 rows from first base, and Scott came over and did the autograph thing (I didn't get one), but he was super nice to EVERYONE. Baltimore loves their baseball and the players respect that.

You're a very lucky person then. If you visit some O's games, feel free to send up some autographs

I pretty much hate minor league baseball. It's pretty much irrelevant to me. I do check up on the Reds farm teams daily during the season though.

I usually try to catch the Reds AA team when they visit the Smokies at least once or twice a season. Was lucky enough to have free tickets left by one of the players thanks to helping out with a Reds website. One of the Reds AA pitchers was pitching that night, and we have him as a "Spotlight Player" so he was nice enough to leave us 3 seats about 3 rows up behind home plate. I watched Joey Votto belt two homeruns at Smokies Park. One of which nearly cleared the 2nd fence in Right Center Field. Been a huge Votto fan ever since then.

I haven't been to an Appy league game since Rick Ankiel was down there pitching for the JC Cardinals after his loss of control with the Cardinals. Me and some buddies went to JC twice to see him pitch. he was a man against boys at that level. I still have the scorecards from those games somewhere in my closet. If memory serves me correctly, he had 17 Ks in one of those games... THROUGH 7 Innings. and they took him out. Some bum was his catcher back then. Some guy named Yadier Molina. Not sure he even plays any more the Whiny Little **tch. The only other notable player i can think of that played then was a huge prospect/thug named "Toe" Nash.

As for big league parks, Camden Yards ranks somewhere between 2 and 3 for me. The more I go to GABP, the more I realize how nice it is. but neither Camden nor GABP compare to PNC Park in Pittsburgh. I already have family plans to skip a trip to Cincy this year and go to Pittsburgh instead to watch the Reds.

There used to be a great daily review of the Reds minor league games on Redleg Nation. Down on the Farm was its title. Great editor!

I read that from time to time. I'm a huge fan of redszone though. i live on redszone from March to October. I'm proud to say that I'm a member of the old red guard as well.
