    I feel like wanting to go to a minor league ball game.

    So did I. In fact, I did recently. I treated my dad to a game in Fresno between the Fresno Grizzlies and the Oklahoma City Dodgers. Over half of
    the 9500+ crowd were wearing Dodger Blue, including myself. It was a good game, which the Dodgers beat the Grizzlies 4-2.

    We are die-hard Dodgers fans (my dad since they were in Brooklyn) as is my
    son (living in north central Arkansas). My late maternal grandfather was a Giants fan. He would have loved seeing them winning the World Series.
    I texted with my son on Father's Day and he mentioned seeing the Dodgers
    play in St. Louis. I would love to be there with him, but don't see that happening. Baseball season coincides with fire season here in California.

    Yea, Im just annoyed how tickets to the main park can run around 110 bucks
    plus for 2 people. If I can get food and tickets for 2 for 50 Im happy.

    I saw something where tickets were quite low (relatively speaking) for the July 3rd and 4th games, which had a fireworks show after each game. The statium is more than three hours drive and I have to work on Thursday... The last time we were at Dodger Stadium, Matt Kemp was there, I think around 2011 or 2012, when we got tickets in the second deck along the third base line for a Sunday afternoon game.

    The OKC Dodgers only come here every other year. I did see the Isotopes a few years ago when the Grizzlies were a Giants AAA franchise. I was hoping the Dodgers would move their AAA team to Fresno, but they believe it is too close to the Giant's area. I can watch the Dodgers on my phone in Fresno, but not in Visalia, 35 miles south. Go figure...

    I haven't looked at going to Dodger Stadium for several years now. It's too expensive by the time you but the tickets, pay for a room (night game), and the meals.

    At least they are doing a bit better than mid May.
