Baseball is over in Portland...forever



Baseball is gone...the season is over and the team is leaving. The baseball team owner took a big risk and thought he could convince the city to build a new baseball stadium in the middle of a recession. He committed to MLS (Major League Soccer). One of the league rules in MLS is that your soccer stadium is just that - a soccer stadium, not to be shared with any other sport.

The Taylor family went to 2 of the last 3 Portland Beaver Triple A baseball games. We only missed the third game because it was on Sunday.

I found a great deal weeks ago online - every ticket for the last three games - $1.00 each, even the reserved infield seats. Soooooo....I bought 8 tickets (the max number) for Saturday nights and Monday afternoons game. We had a blast

We will miss baseball in Portland. The nearest baseball game is now 2 hours away.

One cool thing I did learn was the my Droid does a complete panoramic photo shoot...I think I would rather have baseball.
