Fort Wayne has a "Low-A" Minor League baseball team called the TinCaps, formerly known as The Wizards. They are part of the San Diego Padres organization. This season is the first season for the new name and a brand new ballpark downtown (this came with a lot of controversy!). Ally received four free tickets through T-ball, so today the four of us went to a TinCaps game. It was a beautiful day for a ball game at a fabulous ballpark.
Our seats were almost directly behind home plate about half way up. No zoom needed for this picture!
The seats were empty today, but above right field is a section called the TreeTops. This area is rooftop seating similar to Wrigley Field. There is a grassy area beyond the outfield where there aren't any seats, but instead you can bring a blanket and hang out on the lawn.

This might have been the highlight of the day for the girls...a picture with Johnny! Johnny Appleseed is the mascot for the TinCaps.
To end the day off right, the TinCaps beat the South Bend Silverhawks 11-2 with three solo homeruns in the 5th inning. It was a very fun day!
P.S.--For the college gals, Chris Watson our old neighbor at Campus Edge works for the TinCaps. Small world, huh?
