We had a great time in the Glass City as the Toledo Mud Hens took on the Buffalo Bisons Saturday night. Current Toronto Thunder pitcher Joe Biagini started for the Bisons, but was hammered for a few runs early and pulled after four innings. The entertaining game ultimately went into extra innings, until Mount Pleasant Trainwreck pitcher Kyle Ryan gave up a few runs to give the win to the squad from Buffalo. Lots of pre-game fun bar-hopping and checking out the rapidly developing Toledo downtown. Thanks to all that could go, and looking forward to another trip next year!!!

Lego Night at the ballpark! Based on the driver,
I am assuming that is an autonomous Lego Semi!

Toledo's downtown area actually allows and encourages
outdoor drinking as you go from bar to bar!

New top Tiger prospect Jeimer Candelario cracks a long fly
ball that should end this one, but NO!!! Out at the plate :-(

LIVE entertainment after the game in Hensville, the bar district right

Looks like a great time was had by all. Great view from the hotel room -- second time in three trips that you've had a view of the field -- pretty cool! Cracks me up that there were games played at the game (isn't that like Kramer's Coffee Table Book that turns into a coffee table?). My big regret is not being in the fireworks pictures, arms raised. I'm thankful to see this post and all the cool stuff you did, but also thankful because it pushed Chuck's "picture" further down the page. :)
