Louisville Bats Baseball



 George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge. 2nd Street over the Ohio River into Indiana.

 Buddy Bat




 Jairo Asencio was eventually called up the Baltimore. Pitched one inning and was designated for assignment.

 Tides first basemsn Travis Isikawa. Travis made the bigs with the O's shortly after this game (6/18) The Yankees picked him up and released him to make roster room for Jeter. The White Sox then picked him up and send him to their AAA tam in Charlotte. We saw him before playing single A with Hagerstown.


If vacation hadn't gotten crazy enough we drove to Louisville, Kentucky for a baseball game. That would mean we got into Memphis at 5:30 pm Thursday and left at 1:30 pm Friday. 20 hours. It's a 6 hour drive to Louisville, the game starts at 7. No problem we may be just a little late. Oops, there is a time zone to be crossed. Make that 7 hours, we're gonna be late. So, 4th inning we roll into Louisville Slugger Field. The Bats are playing the Norfolk Tide, The Orioles AAA team. Signature food at LSF was a fried bologna Hamburger, didn't see that until it was too late, I already settled for a stadium brat. Well, the Bats lost 1-2, but they had fireworks anyway. We left Louisville by noon Saturday. That would calculate to about 16 hours.
