Last week the Yogi’s went to see our AA Tulsa Drillers play Midland at Driller’s Stadium at the County Fairgrounds. I love Driller’s Stadium but this is its last year. They are moving into a fancy new field in downtown Tulsa next year. I’m sure I’ll like it also, but I’m going to miss Driller’s Stadium<\/p>\n

Sweetie and SuperPizzaBoy hate baseball but it was Fireworks Night and SPB loves the treats. So they indulge me on Fireworks nights. As you can tell they come well prepared. Sweetie brought her crackberry and son brought a Harry Potter book.<\/p>\n

Sweetie trys to act interested, she asks every now and then if anybody has scored a touchdown or not. She does that even though I score the games and give her a running commentary about what the guy batting did last time he was up or what he did last time we are at the game. I think the whole scoring thing kind of embarrasses her. It is kind of nerdy but I find it fun. I have score books from when I lived in Houston back in the 80’s and had season tickets to the Astros and later when I lived in Dallas and went to Ranger’s games.<\/p>\n

One think about the stadium I love is that with the everpresent Oklahoma south wind the outfield flag always looks wonderful, especially against a pretty eastern sky at sunset.<\/p>\n

\"Flag<\/a><\/p>\n

“Finally” said Sweetie and SPB, “the game is over!” time for some fireworks.<\/p>\n
