Ceridian Day At Al Lang Field

We obtained 4 tickets to attend a Sunday (March 13) afternoon ballgame at Al Lang Field, aka, Progress Energy Park. This stadium used to be the Spring home of several major league clubs including the Mets. Today's game was between the minor league players of the Philadelphia Phillies and the national team of the Netherlands. We saw a couple of homers and the day was beautiful. Nice afternoon, sparse crowd, hot sun, and thanks to Drew and Brendan who accompanied us.

Progress Energy Park, better known as Al Lang Field.

Introductions and the national anthems of Netherlands and US.

                                    Plenty of seats available at the ballpark.

                                                Tailgating before the game.

Future Phillies major leaguers?

Beautiful setting for a ball field.  This main road, Dali Drive, is closed in preparation for the Indy race next weekend.

                             

        A foul ball for Drew.  Kind of...(he actually found it in one of the rows of seats.)

Flags of the US and Netherlands.

A home run swing.  It really was, I was just taking some random pics and this guy belts one over the left field fence. 

Minor or major, baseball is a great leisurely way to spend a couple of hours.

                                                Some action on the field.

Again, what a beautiful day and setting.
