It makes a lot of sense for this team and system. Not much disruption to the color scheme and mascot, retaining a clear connection to the @Cardinals. Very much like the @smokiesbaseball, which Studio Simon also worked on along the way.

Against any of the other NL teams, I'd be rooting for them. The Pads took 4 of 6 in the season series, including a sweep at home. Should be fun.

I never buy a hat when we go to the MLB ballparks. It just doesn't feel right. I was sorely tempted by the maroon beauty the @Phillies wear with their powder- blues, but we were rained out that day. 😀 And there's zero chance I could bring myself to buy a @Dodgers hat.

I regretted not getting a hat when I saw the Honey Hunters there and picked up a decent knock-off years later. That ballpark/community may be better suited for the Coastal Plain League

Fun additional fact: That game also featured 6'7" left-hander A.J. Puk and 6'11" righty Sean Hjelle on the mound.

One joy of following @MiLB is watching prospects make it to the majors. On my first baseball road trip in California in 2019, I watched Jesus Luzardo pitch three scoreless innings for the @stocktonports, and today he started Game 1 for the @Phillies mappingthepath.com/day-1-sto…

We celebrated the end of our Northern Rockies trip and our upcoming anniversary with dinner at La Ronde in Edmonton — a rotating restaurant with great views of the city (and RE/MAX Field, home of the @EdmRiverhawks)! 🇨🇦 #Travel
