Personal Notes: The Durham Bulls are now a part of the International League and are AAA for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. At the time I went, they were A for the Atlanta Braves.
I got to see future Greenville Braves which is always a bonus for me.
The game I attended was very exciting. Saw my first live grand slam at the game here. Nate Dishington of the Prince William Cannons got one. I believe I was the only one in attendance who applauded. There were quite a few wild pitches and passed balls that allowed some of the runs to be scored and advance runners..
When a Bulls player hit a home run, the 'Bull' on the outfield wall blew smoke, wagged its tail and turned its eyes red.
Mostly everyone sang the national anthem. That's unusual. I found the seating arrangement good. No seats were blocked by the walkway between the two levels.
Almost all the Bulls players wore hi-socks. There were two umpires. It was 95 degrees at game time. |
