Bricktown Ballpark is home to the
Oklahoma City Dodgers
(AAA affiliate of the
Los Angeles Dodgers)
The stadium is located on a street named for
a particularly famous Okie ballplayer.
Homeruns leaving the ballpark
seem to find windows along
Power Alley quite frequently.
Great baseball history all around!
The Omaha Storm Chasers
(AAA affiliate of the Kansas City Royals)
were the visiting team for
a perfect-weather afternoon game!
We, of course, know several
Omaha Storm Chasers.
The majority of the roster
has been promoted from the
NWA Naturals in Springdale

OKC is not too far away!
3 hours, straight down I-40
We enjoyed a constant, cool breeze
for most of the game!
Check-out the hotel in left field!
Mickey Mantle's name & likeness
can be found everywhere in the ballpark
A surprise visit from #24!
Cheslor Cuthbert!
A cool autograph from fellow lefty,
#13 Buddy Baumann!
DJ was at the front of the line
to race around the bases!
Quite a stride!
& a high-five to the mascot
at the finish line!
After the game, (a tough Chaser loss)
we completed a lap (walking) around
stadium... We spotted a statue of Hooks!
(Warren Spahn, Baseball Hall of Fame
inductee, 1973)
We didn't have to go far
to get to our hotel room!
We stayed in the hotel
right behind the outfield wall!
It was a good thing it was a day game...
Big storms rolled-thru that night!
No fireworks, but we were treated
to an impressive display of lightning!
DJ declared this to be the most-awesome
hotel pool ever!
-except, not that deep.
(4 feet, max)
An enjoyable experience!
