Observations from Delmarva
This
is a great park in one of the league's more remote locations. As the
crow flies, it's 165 miles from Richmond (our home base for a trip to
see the league's northernmost three teams - thanks, friends!), but Chesapeake Bay prevents
that sort of direct path. Our drive was five hours from Richmond by the
northern route (slowed by Annapolis rush hour) and more than four hours
by the southern route (slowed by overnight bay tunnel construction). It
would have been great to pair this visit with Lakewood N.J., but our
schedule and the games didn't match up that way.
The fellow behind us sounded exactly like
Wilford Brimley.
Shorebirds
starter Luis Gonzalez (6-0 in 12 starts) had a nice outing, throwing
seven strikeouts in six shutout innings in a 4-0 win Wednesday against
Lakewood.
Food highlight: The Swamp Dog, a spicy sausage with shrimp and grits on top.
