You’d like this game at Rickwood Field. Lots of offense. Four of five home runs. One almost hit my car. They made me park beyond the right field fence.
Manual scoreboard. National anthem sung by a barbershop quartet. One of the singers liked the Stripers shirt that I wore.
Barons wearing the Black Barons uniforms worn by Willie Mays. Pensacola also wearing throwbacks. A charter bus of fans drove up from Pensacola for the game.
Pensacola piled on the runs. Final score 23-4.
I left home right at 7 am. Stopped at McDonalds for a $3 bacon egg & cheese biscuit. Didn’t stop by my Birmingham office because my friend Danny wasn’t available. Stopped by some thrift stores and an early lunch at Arby’s - two chicken sliders for $2 total.
Then I drove up to the big Vulcan statue that overlooks the city, and checked out the museum.
Arrived at the parking lot at 1130. Should’ve gotten there earlier. Took me 45 minutes to park.
On the way home I gassed up at Buccees. Got a $2 Sonic milkshake.
Passed Anniston and Oxford on the way back. The GPS steered me off the interstate due to a wreck. Drove on back country roads with my window down, pretty much all the way on Highway 120. Crossed into Georgia, then to Tallapoosa past West Georgia Golf, on to Buchanan, Dallas, Hiram, into downtown Marietta from the west, then home.
Tomorrow: National Hamburger Day.
