    MLB Went to a Vermont Lake Monsters game last night

    My g/f and I went to a Vermont Lake Monsters (Short Season A) game in CT against the Connecticut Tigers last night. I'll post some pics in a bit.

    Lake Monsters Win Third Straight Game | Vermont Lake Monsters News

    Lake Monsters won thanks to a 3-run homer by 2010 7th round pick Jordan Tripp. 2010 3rd round pick Aaron Shipman went 0 for 1 with 3 walks, 2 runs, and 3 stolen bases.

    Jim Leyland's son is the catcher on the Tigers. He had a terrible night with 3 errors behind the plate.

    Each team had 12 strikeouts.

    I have that hat and wore it last night, too.

    Oh yeah, the tickets were $10 and we were in the first row behind home plate. I'm sure you guys gathered that by the in-game photos.

    It's based on the North American version of the Lochness Monster in Lake Champlain. They call him Champ.

    Minor league games are so much fun, not a lot of money and great views at the smaller parks.
