So far, we have visited 6 of the 9 stadiums. This year
we got to number 7 - The Maryvale Baseball Park.
Home of the world famous sausage race!
Trevor Hoffman in action!
About half way through the game,
a foul ball came through the net in front of us and
hit Padres General Manager Kevin Towers in the face.
He was sitting in the stands about 4 rows in front of us.
He suffered a broken nose and chipped teeth.
On Sunday, we visited the Vulture Gold Mine outside Wickenburg, Arizona
Next, we went to see the San Diego Padres vs. the San Francisco Giants in Peoria.
Former Padres Manager Bruce Bochy talks with new
