I’ve been to countless early morning minor league games over the years, settling into my seat at 10-10:30 on a Wednesday morning (typically) pondering whether or not fried ballpark food and a craft beer are smart choices as I try to watch/video/take notes on players, surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of screaming elementary school kids that typically come with an early morning minor league game. Today’s first San Diego Padres game felt a lot like that, without the screaming kids.
Not only were we treated to early morning baseball, we were treated to a Padres win against a good Philadelphia team.
