Saturday was a super-awesome experience! I got to throw a first pitch at Classic Park for the Lake County Captains. We had great seats in between home plate and the home team dugout, just a few rows from the front. The stadium was (sadly) not full, and it was a GORGEOUS spring afternoon to sit out and enjoy a baseball game.

Let's Go Caps!
I threw a strike!

Woo-hoo!
Again, I NEED A CAMERA. I forgot to bring even my crappy camera for this event.
For a couple innings, we joined announcers Craig Deas – the “Voice of the Captains” — and former Cleveland Indian Kevin Rhomberg in the radio booth too. What a different perspective of the game!
We were totally engaged in all levels of our experience at Classic Park. By the by, this ballpark has one of the BEST concessions ever — with an expansive selection of craft beer (near the Fan Zone behind Home Plate). Check out a game this summer (these guys are the up-and-comers of the Indians organization); it’s REALLY fun to watch the young players.
There are a number of weekly promotions: PNC Buck Night ($1 tickets; $2 if you have a PNC debit/card card & $1 fries/10-oz drafts and sodas) and Thirsty Thursdays (Uh, nickel domestic drafts an hour before the game?! Half price through seventh inning) definitely are calling my name. Feed Your Face Wednesday is also an option ($18 ticket and all-you-can-eat hot dogs, hamburgs & fries!). I’ll stay away from Tuesdays (Kids Eat Free). Heh.
My Bucket List reflects one item as “throw out a first pitch at an Indians game.” I now have the practice. Cleveland Indians, are you listening? May 9 is my birthday, and I AM available.
OR is this technically close enough to the experience that I can cross said item off as completed? Your thoughts, please.
Thanks again to the Lake County Captains!
