I stopped by the 66ers box office today and picked up tickets for Opening Night, which is next Thursday.
Good seats — front row almost directly behind homeplate, for $9 each. If only Dugout Club seats at Dodger Stadium were that cheap. ;)
Arrowhead Park is actually pretty nice. Both of the Cal League stadiums I’ve been to have been good-looking places with fine views of the mountains on clear days. ;) The Epicenter, where the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes play, is a beautiful spot too.
The diamond is looking good. The CSUSB Coyotes were preparing to play the Cal State LA Golden Eagles when I stopped by — the Coyotes have most of their home games here.
Can’t wait for the game! It’ll actually be my first attended baseball game of the year. I’d thought to try getting to a few local college games, but the accident sort of derailed that idea.
Season opener last night
The 66ers had a nice win last night in their season opener against the Mavericks, getting a big 4-run 6th inning and holding on to win 9-7 (box score).
Starting pitcher and awesomely named Alberto Bastardo surrendered 5 hits and 4 runs in 3.1 IP, so he gave way to Cory Wade, who wound up getting the win (Meque with the Hold, Leach with the Save).
Ivan De Jesus had a pretty good night: 2-5, with two doubles and one K. Jamie Hoffmann was even better: 4-5, 1 HR, 3 RBI, one SB, and one K.

De Jesus: SS of the future?

Yep. “Ivan De Jesus” also reminds me of “Vladimir Guerrero”, so he’s got that going for him at least. ;)
