It's a big address for the only structure
for miles around!
Werner Ballpark is home of the Royals'
AAA affiliate, Omaha Storm Chasers
A cool truck with
an awesome parking spot!
DJ thought the merry-go-round
was unfairly represented with
girl-themed horses.
We stayed dry during the rain delay,
& watched the end of the Royals game!
Nice, 65 degree weather in July!
Welcome to Nebraska!
Championship Royalty!
It's Vortex!

We saw Bubba play the night before
in Springdale-
Now, he's listed in the Chaser's
starting lineup.
He may have followed (or passed) us
on the way to Omaha!
Several other Storm Chaser players
have made the journey up from Springdale.
It's Casey!

Werner Park is fun-filled
with lots of kid's activities,
and neat baseball stuff!
Can't really call it "bad weather" :
Drizzle & 65 degrees
We had club seating
that kept our buns dry!
First, the game was delayed
(for about 30 minutes)...
Then, cancelled.
No worries, the make-up game
was scheduled for the next day.
With temps in the 60's, we weren't leaving.
Werner Park's fitting tribute to one
of the best all-time pitchers in baseball:
Bob "Hoot" Gibson
was born & raised in Omaha.
Gibson won 251 games in his 17-year career
with the St Louis Cardinals.
In a batter-friendly era,
he recorded an amazing 3,117 strikeouts.
In 1968, Gibson had one of the greatest seasons
ever compiled by a pitcher.
He was 22-9 with a record-setting 1.12 ERA
and league-leading totals
of 13 shutouts and 268 strikeouts.
He was named the National League's MVP
and won its Cy Young Award that season.
