Our first minor league game, the Boise Hawks vs Eugene Emeralds. Not like a major league team (usually), hits were at a minimum. Therefore, inbetween sips of beer and nudging Don to a state of wakefullness, I focused my attention on the "entertainment." The highlight of the evening was Kohl, the bat dog. The audience soon began hoping for hits, not to score, but to watch Kohl retrieve bats. Good dog!
Another highlight was the potato race, for those of us with ultra-short attention spans who enjoy campy things. (pic from MiLB.com)
If you enjoy sentimentality, silly fun, and a small town atmosphere, you would enjoy a Boise Hawks game. The net was a bit of a distraction (which can be seen when enlarging the pics), but my head has a history of attracting balls so I was grateful for it.
