Nothing says summer to me quite like going to a baseball game.The Red Wings are the longest running minor league baseball team (since 1877)! The tickets are relatively cheap, and they have a pretty nice stadium to boot. They also have all the standard stadium food, which I dearly love (it's like fair food, only more readily available). And they sell local favorites Genny and Rohrbach.
They play basically every day for the next week starting Friday, so there's no excuse not to head downtown to see some of tomorrow's big leaguers (The Red Wings are the triple-A farm team for the Minnesota Twins). Former Red Wingers include Joe Mauer, Mike Mussina, Cal Ripken (Jr. and Sr.), Stan Musial, Don Baylor, Tim McCarver, Frank Robinson, and Curt Schilling.
If you're in need of a reality check before going wild on the peanuts and Cracker Jack's, here's a useful/depressing table of nutritional facts for the ball park fare. So much for my favorite: nachos with everything.
