#9 - The (Bingo) King's Speech

I enjoy going to the ballpark to see the Mariners play as much as the next fan, but the $30 parking and $10 beer charges do add up, especially if you bring the family.The minor league experience is more purely enjoyable. You're closer to the action and don't have to take out a second mortgage to afford the evening. You also get to enjoy the wacky promotions that only the minor leagues can offer. A Master of the Minors was one Bill Valentine. I worked for him for ten years. Many thanks to Nancy Pattison for taking (and then digging up) this old photo of my immensely important job at the ballpark back then.#BillValentine #ArkansasTravelers #baseball
