Fabulous End to Holiday Weekend/Start of a Home Stand

Wow. What a night for baseball. There was a crowd at the stadium: the weather, the holiday, the Mets farm team, and fireworks brought 'em out.

As usual, people had to be asked to leave seats that weren't theirs. Our friend XG-Man's seats were usurped by the people in the 2nd row using them as a coat rack.

But it was a fun crowd, a great game (even tho' it went by too quickly), and the Chiefs won, thanks to a Corey Brown HR, immediately followed by an insurance HR by Michael Aubrey.

ITEMS OF NOTE:

• Before the game started, TV Stevie pointed out that Jason Botts, one of our Chief faves from last season, is now playing for Buffalo.

Jason Botts came in at the top of the ninth.

FIRST BASE COACH CHEER:

• Michael Aubrey tipped his hat
• Jhonatan Solano gave a big grin and waved

GREAT MOMENT:

One of the things I love about Independence Day games at the stadium is watching the players and their families sprawl on the grass in front of the dugout during the fireworks.

That's it until tomorrow night, when the Chiefs take on the Bison again!
