Wednesday Night at LaGrave Field
In the past week, I’ve been to two baseball games. Last week, I watched the Texas Rangers dispatch the Boston Red Sox from the rarified confines of a luxury suite at The Ballpark in Arlington. Tonight, I watched the Fort Worth Cats take on the Grand Prairie Air Hogs from behind the third base dugout at the far more intimate LaGrave Field. Me personally, I’ll take the Cats anytime.
The Rangers may be fielding a higher quality product these days, but I’d rather enjoy the Cats on Dollar Hot Dog Night with The Famous Chicken doing his schtick. Besides, with Fergie Jenkins and Toby Harrah in attendance and Pete Incaviglia in the dugout managing the Air Hogs, the night had a nice retro feel. I was halfway wishing Mitch Williams could come in and blow a save for old time’s sake.
