The 2nd Annual Friendship League Beer 'N Baseball trip was a great time, Grand Rapids lived up to its reputation as both 'Beer City' and 'Cool City'! Highlights of the trip included a Whitecaps victory, a bumbling home plate umpire that made Enrico Palatzzo look competent, three brewery visits, the first league game played in an Uber car, late night go-karting at AJ's Family Fun Center, Fred winning the big pot in the infamous 'Cup' game, and the exciting buildup to the midnight Leicester City soccer match :-) Fun was had by all and can't wait until next year's trip!

Outstanding seats for the game, well within range for the terrible
ump to hear the heckling |

Looks like we melted into the Cheers opening montage,
nice camera trick Fred! |

Not often that I take restroom pictures, but liked the décor
in the baseball-themed Mitten Brewing Company |

Enjoying the post-game fireworks. Picture works
best with Katy Perry's 'Firework' on in the background |
