The great thing about going to a minor league baseball game -- even one at the AAA level -- is that you get all of the extra fun stuff that happens throughout, in between the action. I'm talking about the dizzy bat races, the random birthday parties full of kids running around in the outfield like they were searching for Easter eggs full of Ritalin -- you know, the fun stuff. Those are the moments that remind you that baseball has been around as long as it has, that it's borne out of small towns and the moments between. It feels like summer out here.
Here they feature fireworks on Fridays after the ballgame, the occasional wacky promo like Will Ferrell's turn as 'Rojo Johnson,' and other shenanigans. Beers are a little spendy (but not nearly as much so as you'll see on the major league level), and this park features a variety of items to munch on - your BBQ sandiwches to go with hotdogs, pretzels, and the like. I will note that I've had a suspect pickle here (which sounds like a great name for a band but made for a rotten dining option), but as you might expect, most days, catching a Round Rock Express game means a night under the stars watching tomorrow's potential greats take a swing on their march to the big time. And some hoppy laughs along the way.
