Yesterday’s games were more like a doubleheader than anything else. The Cincy team came here to play because their field was too wet and muddy from the rains on Sunday. The fields here were perfect, attesting to Abel’s claim that they had major-league quality drainage systems. So, there were two games taking place on the two main fields–the Yanks vs. the Indians and the Bombers against the Reds. The Yanks won 2-1 behind some good pitching and the Bombers defeated the Reds 6-3 on the strength of 3 homeruns, including another one by Geraldo Rodriguez, his second in two games. That puts the Yanks record at 2-1 and the Bombers at 2-0. Today, the Red Sox travel here to play the Bombers and the Yanks go on the road against the Cubs.
There are a lot of people who come to see the games here. Most of them, I think, are friends and relatives of the players and coaches. Yesterday, there were probably close to 30 or 40 fans watching the games, and, including the players and coaches of all the teams, there were probably close to 180 people here altogether. Cool. More later.
