On what may be the most perfect day anyone could have in Iowa, a trip to Sec Taylor Stadium (currently known as Principal Park, but will always be referred to as the original) was in order. Here is the home of the triple-A franchise of the Chicago Cubs, the Iowa Cubs. It was get-away day as the I-Cubs hosted the Memphis Redbirds (STL) in the final game of a four game series.
Thanks to our friends Ron Stewart and Tom Greene we were treated to seats among the scouts behind home plate. Here a member of the STL Cardinal organization is keeping tabs of the speed of his pitchers.
A beautiful shot of downtown Des Moines. Over 7,000 were in attendance, and by looking at the crowd entering the ballpark many were either taking the day off from school or work.
However this is a baseball game and not a board meeting. Ties only make you stand out in the crowd.
It was a 6-2 final for the home Cubbies.
