We caught a baseball game in Syracuse on Saturday night. Syracuse, the triple A team for the Toronto Blue Jays played Buffalo, the triple A for the Cleveland Indians. Sal Fasano catches for the Chiefs, he was the O's backup in 2005 and Gustavo Cachin was on a rehab assignment from the Bigs and 
pitched, but not too well. he got pulled with bases loaded, his relief unloaded them when he served up a grand slam. But in the end Syracuse won. Alliance Bank Park was a decent enough stadium except for the hideous carpeted field. Turf 
that was a color not natural. Obviously it is also used as a soccer/football field, but artificial turf on a minor league field? What were they thinking? There is talk that they may see the light and go au natural next year, let's hope so. The mascots were some strange orange thing called Scooch and a train conductor named Pops. Throughout the game commercial trains were passing diagonally past the left field corner giving it a uniqueness that I did like. All in all I did like it, the hot dogs were good, and the between inning antics included an adult tricycle race and a sack race. The score board was nothing special no pictures just some cartoony images, the out of town board for the International league, Toronto, and the New york clubs was manually operated, but not often enough to keep your interest in what was going on elsewhere. We left in the 8th, it was already pushing 10 PM, and we needed to get up early the next day.
