The 2023 Running Baseball Thread

Looking at their schedule, with a handful of exceptions, most of the night games are Monday-Thursday and the day games are Friday-Sunday.

 

After midnight. Happy Bobby Bonilla Day!

 

I’ve been to Wrigley Field for five games in my life. It has rained every time. Have tickets for tonight’s game. Rain in the forecast.

I’ve been to a bunch of other ballparks and hundreds of games and only experienced one rain game.

 

I'm feeling the same way about Coors Field. My last three trips there were overcast, then wet; snowed out, and then 50 degrees and windy this past June.

 

I haven't been to Wrigley Field since the 1990s ... and come to think of it, the wind was blowing in, it was drizzling and in the 40s. In early June.

Judging by how much the area around "New Comiskey Park" had gentrified when we went there last summer (yes, I'm a White Sox fan), I can't imagine what "Wrigleyville" is like now. Any hint of 1960s Bleacher Bum culture is probably long gone.

 

Everyone now has a trust fund to mind.

 

Mets just hit three homers in the third against the Giants. Is Bobby Bonilla going to hit a fourth?

 

Buddy of mine deadpanned after it ended: “Too bad he couldn’t no-hit his wife.” Oof.

 

My main memory of attending a game at Coors Field on a warm summer day in the 1990s was how sunburnt I was afterward.

The altitude makes a difference, folks. You need to put on sunscreen more than once.
