Baseball game number two for me this summer happened while on vacation this summer. We took an afternoon trip up to Ocean City, Maryland then headed a half hour west to Salisbury to see the Delmarva Shorebirds take on the Hagerstown Suns. This was our second game here we visited in 2002. (actually it was the third, the last time was a doubleheader). Our seats were two rows above the visitors dugout along the first base line. Boring game, I'm sorry to say. The first three innings took over an hour. Things eventually picked up but still ended with a home team loss. Perdue Stadium was opened in 1996 and is named for the Perdues of chicken fame. The pressbox is named for Frank Perdue, the TV spokesman for their chicken empire. Delmarva Shorebirds are the Low A farm team of the Baltimore Orioles, Hagerstown Suns are in the Washington Nationals organization. They play in the South Atlantic League, aka SAL, aka Sally League. More on the game itself later.
