Baseball, Portland Style
So Sweetie and I were talking the other day.
Maybe we're just looking for another excuse for some more minor league baseball this summer.
Maybe we'd like to re-create the kick-ass Fourth of July we had last year at the Beavers game last year, with many friends in attendance.
Maybe we came to the realization that there are baseball fans in Portland who read our blogs, some of whom we know and some of whom we don't.
But we came to the conclusion that we need to do another baseball outing in Portland this summer, spread the net wide, see who bites.
Unfortunately, it can't be the destination of Swankette and TeacherRefPoet's Third Annual Fourth of July Minor League Baseball Roadtrip™ - they're only in town the evening of July 4 proper and I must be at work bright and early on the 5th. However, if you're interested in joining us for a game in the Tri-Cities or Yakima that weekend just holler.
It can't be in July (wedding preparations) or August (honeymooning and heading to Kaphine and Realsupergirls wedding), but the Beavers are at home Labor Day Weekend, and that could be a big bundle of fun. Last Labor Day Weekend took us to a game in Salem, so maybe this could become Swankette and TeacherRefPoet's Annual Labor Day Weekend Oregon Baseball Extravaganza™.
So, wanna' go to a Beavers Game Labor Day Weekend with us? There's games both Saturday Evening and Sunday afternoon, either of which would be fine, although Sunday holds a slight draw for me. The second to last game of the season and the first 3,000 fans get a schedule magnet. It seems to me it will either have to be a very small magnet (Hey, there's a game tomorrow!), or they've got a psychic working for them now.
Invite friends, family, loved ones, whomever. If we can get 15+ people together we can get group rate tickets, which seems like a worthwhile savings. Plus the group leader gets a voucher for four tickets to a future game, which would likely go to an actual Portlander of the crowd.
Comment or e-mail, we'll figure it out from there.

I love the idea! We'll find a way to make it. :-)
I'm cool with the baseball idea. Pretty sure I'll be around Labor Day weekend. My friend's wedding in another state a week later might cause a complication, but I doubt it at this point.
Excellent idea! Patrick would love a good excuse to go see another baseball game (and eat ice cream). Count us in.
Jess.
