Hmm. Since the Twins, as usual, are out of town for my birthday (what’s up with that, anyway?), I wonder if I could manage a trip down for the June series. I have distant relatives in Dubuque (not that I’ve ever met them, but my mom has, so close enough, right?), so maybe…

Thanks for the kind words, both of you.

PK, I highly recommend coming down to some games. For your reference, the Snappers have three series scheduled in Cedar Rapids this season (2 are over weekends):

Wed-Fri: May 2-4
Fri-Sun: June 22-24
Sat-Tue: August 25-28

The Sunday games generally start at 2:05, all other games in these series appear to have 6:35 start times.

Thanks for the good post. You’ve got me thinking about making the drive down from north Iowa to see a game or two when the Snappers are in town.

Great read, JC. There is something special about watching these guys play. Some, before they become famous; others that probably will never advance another level.
