An Evening With Your Local Senators


Baseball, that's what I'm talkin' about. My son and I went to a Harrisburg Senators game last night, they were playing the Bowie Baysox (Baltimore Orioles AA). Nice and relaxing, it actually got chilly by about the 7th inning stretch. We each got an Italian sausage then sat and listed to a swing/jazz band that was there playing before the game. We bought general admission tickets but in the 4th inning we "upgraded" to the reserved section above the third base side dugout. We saw Luis Hernadez play shortstop for Bowie, he played up with the O's while Tejada was on the DL. We also saw Jeff Fiorentino playing left field, we saw him in 2005 up in the big league. The Senators won 10-3 which for a team 26 games out of 1st place in their division with 16 games left in the season was a welcomed surprise. Hard to believe the Minors are almost done for the year. I hope to get down to Baltimore next weekend, we haven't been down yet and I can't imagine going without this year.
