We’re Cougar fans as well. Although attendance is down a bit this year, they still have one of the highest attendance levels for low-A ball. I believe only the Dayton Dragons have a higher per game average. (So far this year >5700). Cool to see players at this level who’ve made it to the bigs, including Dallas Braden who pitched a perfect game this year.
Isn’t minor league baseball fun? When we lived in the SF Bay Area we used to make at least one trip per season to watch the San Jose Giants play. Now we are in Nevada and head to Reno to watch the Reno Aces play ball. In fact we are heading to a Fresno Grizzlies (Triple-A Giants) vs the Reno Aces. Hmmm - have to decide which gear to wear.
I used to love the golden retriever they had on the field complete with his dog house by the dugout. We haven’t gone to the games in years, as our kids are now grown up and spend time at Sox Park, but we should get them together for another Cougars game. They absolutely loved it when we went there. It’s one of the nicest things we did for/with our kids growing up.
I’ll have to ask my husband if he knew Dallas Braden was a Cougar. I didn’t realize that. (ty)
