On Saturday the 13th of June, Wayne and myself took a little ride over to Fort Worth to watch a Cats game. It sure was a long one too. The game, not the ride… It started at it’s normal time of 7 and went only nine innings, but because of a pitcher injury and quite a few questionable calls from the umps, it was after 11 when the last out was called.
The Cats are doing pretty well this year, again. Right now they are 23-6.
Though the original LaGrave Field is long gone, the new stadium is fairly nice. Very basic in it’s construction, fans are drawn to see the actual players and love of the game, not some fancy over designed ball park. The first LaGrave field was built in 1926 and was used by the Cats until 1964. In 2002 the new stadium opened along with the comeback of the Fort Worth Cats. Home plate is even in the exact same place that it was back in 1926.
One of the cool things about the ball park is the view of down town Fort Worth in the background. (wish I had gotten a shot of it, what a dope I was not to take one… oh well, it’s not like I wont be back any time soon…)
I might end up out there again for the July 4th game so I’ll have some more pictures before to long. Until then, you’ll just have to enjoy these.
Warming up
Batter Up!
Out at first
So you want to go get a pizza after the game?
Why do they even bother to steal second?
Out!!!
#1 in the division.
And of course they have the hot young girls to entertain you between innings.
Gotta love those Rally Cats.
And of course their beloved mascot Dodger.
Wayne Terwilliger. I think he’s been playing ball for so long, he might have been on the very first baseball team ever.
And sports fan Wayne always has a ball for somebody to sign.
