The second game we went to was another great AA game, this time from the Texas league. The Springfield Cardinals are in a race for the lead of the first half of the season, and we watched the home team win, combining timely homeruns, great catches, lots of fun AA-type promotions between innings, and of course $6 beers. The evening weather was perfect, cooled to 82 degrees. The fans came out to support the team on a Tuesday night, and this stadium is also right downtown and definitely kept in tiptop condition. We even got a free ticket, as Tuesdays throughout the minor leagues are buy-one-get-one free with a Kraft singles cheese wrapper, which of course we had! $11 got 2 tickets right at home plate along the first base line. We finished off the evening at the Springfield Brew Pub downtown--another apparently vibrant downtown.
