I did not even post this yet! Already out of order! The game at Montgomery was the best! It was unbelievably hot--even at 7 pm, but the stadium was pretty full and quite lively. It was set in an old train station, right on the Alabama River, and trains indeed went by all game long. Beautiful place really. Reinvigorated section of urban Montgomery, with loft spaces, a brew pub with live music stage, and safe places to walk. You can see by this picture, there was a huge Regions Bank building downtown, dwarfed everything else! I am a Regions customer and I was frankly a little embarrassed by the ostentatiousness of it. "Too big to fail" and all that. Provide credit for small business, local folks and homeowners, ok? Anyway, the game was fun, the Montgomery Biscuits won in 10 innings, and everyone enjoyed the tribute to the military families, the induction ceremony for 40 new Air Force recruits, and even a 2 jet flyover from Maxwell AFB! Then at the end was a fireworks show! All for $12 tickets and $6 beer! The MLB games may not be THAT good!
For some reason, I can't get the pictures to load to this--will try it later
