4/1/10
In a few short hours Krista and I and my buddy Jack and his wife Kim will be heading to Albuquerque to spend two days watching the Rockies play the Mariners.
I found out that for the first game Isotopes Park opens up 2 1/2 hours early.That’s plenty of time to snag a Ken Griffey Jr autograph right?
The Rays Renegade said to do everything short of jumping on the field to get Griffey’s autograph so I’m gonna take him at his word.
Isotopes Park is a beautiful stadium. I don’t often get to check out new stadiums so I’m gonna have fun with this one. This stadium has a really nice grassy berm in right field so snagging should be fun.
I’m itching to get out there and catch my first one of the season.
The Isotopes are the AAA affiliate of the LA Dodgers and since its opening, Isotopes Park has routinely been ranked among the top five minor league ballparks in the nation.
I’ll let you know…We’ll be back in a couple of days.
Go Rockies in Albuquerque…D

I’d get him to sign my 1990 Upper Deck rookie card. The card that pretty much put Upper Deck on the map. I hope you get him, although from what I’ve heard, he won’t be spending too much out on the field this season.

This looks like a great Minor League park. I’d love to see the Springfield, er, I mean the Albquerque Isotopes play during one of my baseball trips.

LUVMYROX, PETER, HOMIE, MIKE, AND EMILY. Thanks for the comment luv. We had a great time in Albuquerque. You wont belive the story I have to tell about this trip. I’m working on the entry and should have it up Monday night.
Let me throw two names at you..Jason Giambi and Ken Griffey Jr, and no I didn’t get their autograph..Check back to see what I did get…D
Rockpile, I know the sting your talking about very well. We have a Double-A team in our city, the Corpus Christi Hooks. I caught a home run ball from Arkansas Traveler, Jay Caligiuri. I was on the left field berm and the home run came in from my left side. Unfortunately for me I was still in the process of getting my glove up when it hit off my forearm. Never knew that a baseball could hurt so good. If you check my blog, I have a picture of my forearm. You can even see the imprint the stitching left.
