On our way to the game, we thought a small group of 25 or so might be showing-up early. Wrong! There was a large crowd of over 250 waiting in lines for the 3:00 batting practice before the 7:15 game.
Free ASG hats for the first 5,000 fans!
The game featured all of the best players from the Texas League.
Great weather was on display, too.
High clouds, constant breeze and low humidity!
After batting practice, it was time for the Home Run Derby.
Naturals First Baseman Matt Fields won the competition!
(he was one of the players Davis announced on a previous trip)
It was a close competition. A player even launched a home run
that hit the top of the big bounce-around! (A long, long way)
Davis was cheering like crazy for Matt to win.
DJ recognizes a lot of names & faces around Arvest Ballpark.
(In addition to Moose, Davis has followed several other players,
like Wil Myers, who have hit the big time playing

Beginning with Arvest Ballpark's inaugural season in 2008,
Davis has a lot of fun summertime memories!
