For the second time (three times if you count the postponed game) this season, I went to see the Kane County Cougars play. Today they hosted the Peoria Chiefs. <\/p>\n
One great thing about Minor League Baseball is being able to see Major League players in a small ballpark when they are rehabilitating an injury. For example, three years ago, the Ultimate Sports Wife and I were attending a Lancaster JetHawks (of the California League) game and saw Craig Counsell in a rehab assignment. Today, I was hoping Aramis Ramirez would make a rehab start since he is scheduled to return to the Chicago Cubs shortly. No such luck though (however, he is scheduled to appear on Friday at Kane County).<\/p>\n
Obtaining Tickets
<\/u>As opposed to the game I attended in April, the Cougars had their lawn seats on sale for $8. They also sell $10 and $12 tickets. I bought a lawn seat knowing I would be able to sit in the $12 seats anyway.<\/p>\n
The Game<\/u>
Once again, it was kid\u2019s day at Elfstrom Stadium. This is probably a sign I should not be attending these games, but it is a good way to spend an afternoon. This time there were a few more paying adults than there were in April. The Cougars took a 3-0 lead after the 3rd inning and held onto the 3-2 win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
