Thanks & No Thanks

Hello from the Cowboy State? The call was promptly ignored. Interrupting a game of Angry Birds is serious. Just in case you are calling from  a picturesque B&B in Jackson Hole, please leave a message.

Fun & Games

at Dickey-Stephens Ballpark! Cool performers everywhere! Surprisingly everywhere! Bacon Station! A statue? Davis was really shocked when the statue walked away! Dugout fun before the game with a few of the Naturals' All Stars (Calixte & Cuthbert) Working-up some courage for a bull ride hmmm. Wow!

All Stars & Pine Tar

It's the 2014 Texas League All Star Game! At the always super-fun Dickey-Stephens Ballpark in North Little Rock A star-filled event! It's the Naturals' All Star infielder, Cheslor Cuthbert! Stickier than a used sucker with less flavor: Davis gets a lesson with pine tar  from a Traveler All Star More fun will be on the way!

Rua & Ruins

Ryan Rua dominated the All Star Game Home Run Derby! One of his home runs soared out of the stadium, cleared the parking lot, and bounced off the side of an office building! A police officer snagged it, brought it over to the fence, and handed the heavily traumatized ball to Davis!

Peanuts & Cracker Jacks

After the clinic, we stayed-over for the ball game! Arvest Ballpark must be one of the most fan-friendly ballparks in all of baseball!  We just happened to run into Naturals' All Star Cheslor Cuthbert! He's been a professional baseball player since he was 16. You think that might skew his personality? The star from Corn Island, Nicaragua happens to be an awesomely cool guy: He signed a cool photo of himself signing a baseball from earlier this season! The weather didn't cool-down much,  but there was still an awesome crowd! Davis spun the prize wheel & won a free  'unlimited trips' wristband for the bounce-arounds! Then, we rode the train -which is expertly conducted through the concourse area. The Texas League All Star Game is Tuesday in North Little Rock! The Nats will have a shot to win the second half of the season  & go for another championship! Cheslor hit a home run, but it wasn't en...

Skills & Drills

It's the annual Kid's Baseball Clinic at Arvest Ballpark! Baseball skill development from true professionals! Coach Wilson shared important lessons he learned as a player in the Major Leagues... ...and a few funny stories! Playing the outfield with future Hall of Famers? At the premiere ballpark of the entire Texas League. Multiple stations were set-up throughout the ballpark. And it was hot. So very hot. Except for Coach Wilson's station. It wasn't hot because he said it wasn't. We cooled-down with freezer blocks afterwards.

Here & There

Here at the McClure Amphitheater!  A nice, cool break in the weather... ...then came the rains... Good thing we had a backup plan to go way up there!

Hello & Goodbye

Hit the red button, Davis. Is it too obvious that someone  is still using an ancient iOS?
