While the Cubs and the Brewers flail in the National League Central, I’ve won tickets for tonight’s Aberdeen Ironbirds game.<\/p>\n
The Ironbirds, as some readers might not be aware, are the minor league baseball team based in Aberdeen, Maryland, and owned by Cal Ripken.<\/p>\n
I won tickets to the second game of the season back in June. Not a great game — the Ironbirds’ pitcher melted down in the second inning, their manager was ejected from the game in the fourth. But you know what? I had tickets right behind home plate<\/i>. First row, right behind home plate<\/i>. The usher wiped down my seat<\/i>.<\/p>\n
So, after work tonight I’m driving up to Aberdeen, and take in the local nine. Well, not quite local to me — they’re a half an hour north of Baltimore, roughly.<\/p>\n
Oh, and tonight? I’ve got the same seats as I did back in June. First row, right behind home plate<\/i>.<\/p>\n
