The day before the great tornado scare of 2011, I took in a minor league game at the DBAP between the Bulls and the Norfolk Tides. For some reason, I only made it out to Durham for one game last year. I hope to do better this year. This was the second home of the game of the year for the Bulls (hence the banners around the park from previous day’s Home Opener ceremonies).
It was a quite pleasant cool evening and the tree pollen (which gives me all sorts of problem this time of year) didn’t bother me that much. Seats were primo – between 3rd Base and Home in the second row of the Terrace Reserved section of the ballpark.
Really impressed with Desmond Jennings of the Bulls. With Manny done “being Manny”, it appears that Jennings will finally be getting a chance to be an everyday player in the Major Leagues sometimes this year. Bulls won 8-3. Here are some shots from my Flickr Slideshow.
