My g/f and I went to a Vermont Lake Monsters (Short Season A) game in CT against the Connecticut Tigers last night. I'll post some pics in a bit.

Lake Monsters Win Third Straight Game | Vermont Lake Monsters News

Lake Monsters won thanks to a 3-run homer by 2010 7th round pick Jordan Tripp. 2010 3rd round pick Aaron Shipman went 0 for 1 with 3 walks, 2 runs, and 3 stolen bases.

Jim Leyland's son is the catcher on the Tigers. He had a terrible night with 3 errors behind the plate.

Each team had 12 strikeouts.

Good hat too...

I have that hat and wore it last night, too.

Oh yeah, the tickets were $10 and we were in the first row behind home plate. I'm sure you guys gathered that by the in-game photos.

Lake Monsters.....I have to pick a name from a single-A team for my little league team next year.

It's based on the North American version of the Lochness Monster in Lake Champlain. They call him Champ.

Minor league games are so much fun, not a lot of money and great views at the smaller parks.
