Well, actually we're in Comstock Park, MI. Or, as Stephanie calls it, "Compost City."
Anyway, it's raining.
We're heading into the parking lot...very slowly.
We are at Fifth Third Ballpark We have been to a ballpark with the same name twice before, in Toledo and in Dayton. Both of those times, we got rained out.
This time we're going to see the West Michigan Whitecaps (A for the Tigers) host the Fort Wayne TinCaps (A for the Padres).
The tarp's already on the field. Elsa is singing "Let it Go" on the scoreboard.
Lineups - a true Cap Game (Tin vs White)!
Has Cameron been here?
Wet empty stands
Everybody's hiding.
Outfield
Our first manual scoreboard of the trip!
Michigan starts 'em young.
There was a Petting Zoo. The tortoise and the hare are about to race.
I'll win!
Todd is testing the rules.
Petting zoo? Or concession stand?
Stephanie and Franky the Swimming Pig
Stephanie and Roxy the River Rascal
The tarp is coming off the field! All the kids were chanting "Take it off!"
Plaque
Stephanie and Crash
Nice color combination, kid!
Spartan Potato Chips? No salt, no oil, potatoes not even cut or washed. We guess.
Todd has capsized.
Michigan's finest propane.
A nod to Stephanie's father
Did we mention it is camp day today?
Good thing it's not sunny!
Albert (Joey) Belle?
In the outfield
The tarp's almost off! What was supposed to be a 12:00 start turned into a 2:00 start. But we're going to get a game at a Fifth Third ballpark! Woo!
Elevators go up AND down.
Local hero
Alcohol smoothie yarder
What is a 5/3rd burger? It's $27!!
Oh my
Few have toppled this giant.
Any guesses?
Hey! BASEBALL HAS BEGUN!
Ooh! There might be an eyeball race later! We love a good eyeball race.
We missed the eyeball race.
More camp day kids
Us! There!
Even more camp days kids, though they seem to be leaving. Unless they're organizing for the attack...
Kitchen appliance race
Dishwasher goes down.
Pigtails? Gas masks? Snouts?
Oh yes. You will be ours!
And they were ours.
Cap game at the Cap game.
Possible advertising campaign: "Mitten Beer. Keeps your hands warm."
They played a special song for this player.
Every time Austin Allen came to bat. Every. Single. Time.
The crew's all hopped up on caffeine.
Bubblebrawl
Bottom of the 9th - hit it here!
This guy bucks the system by sitting out in the sun with an exposed scalp.
Well, we're going into extra innings! How does this scoreboard handle it?
Oh, like that.
It's "Sogar" in English.
This kid was up 6 times and it was his first game with the Whitecaps.
The camp day kids departed, leaving a lot of empty seats.
The TinCaps won in the 13th inning!
Congrats!
There were four kids left in the ballpark for "Kids Run the Bases."
