Maybe a few were watching the Arkansas Travelers take on the San Antonio Missions at Dickey-Stephens ballpark in North Little Rock last night, but most appeared to be enjoying a peaceful night out after days of thunder.
Shelly (the horse mascot; it is a horse, right) dropped by the picnic area to check out the Holy Souls Family Night and ably made the sign of the cross to qualify for a free beer. Alas, his/her hooves couldn't take the cup. He/she then knelt in prayer, or maybe submission.
In addition for a "horse" as a mascot, why the flowery shirts for the Travs' greeters and ushers? Is there a theme I'm missing?
We (a few friends and I) watched an inning or two of punchless baseball, leaving after a Trav was cut down at the plate, while trying to score from second on a shallow single to center, followed by another Trav whiffing to make the third out and keep his .000 batting average intact.
Oh, for the days of Triple A ball.
