Racin' with the RailCats

So Sunday's game with Kansas City will feature the RailCats Day at the Races...Did you know that the RailCats sponsor a car at Illiana Speedway?

Winnipeg Media

Thought the headline in today's Winnipeg Free Press was outstanding...I used their photo as well from today's paper, which arrives at our doorstep in the hotel...I also included another article on former RailCat Lou Ott, who is doing very well for himself with the Goldeyes...

Group Shots

Batting Practice

Ahh yes BP...Remember me talking about getting beaned? Case in point is here...




Cowboys Stadium

Likewise a tour of Cowboys Stadium where we were allowed down on the field...Jim Geary and I took part in an end zone to end zone race, covering 100 yards in 16.6 according to official timer and CFO Becky Kramer :) Some photos here are from stops around the stadium...Yes, that video board is really huge!! Also are some pics from the Suite of Jerry Jones, you will notice he has his own phone with some important numbers on it...




















Ballpark in Arlington

So I posted some pics on here from my visit to the Rangers Ballpark for a game, but I went on the tour with the fantrip as well which got to see some cool places inside the park...Here are some pics from that, including a photo that has been referenced before related to quality at bats, which I think will serve as a stand alone a little later...Also included is a dinged up box of some sort from the cooling off room which is out of camera sight behind the dugout where players can just beat up things...










JFK

Here are pics from the visit to the JFK assassination site in Dallas...No pics were allowed inside the museum where they actually have the window setup to look like it was found shortly after the shooting with the alleged perch of Lee Harvey Oswald...I've been on an Eric Church kick lately (He's a country singer) and he has a song where he says I believe that OJ did it, Lee Harvey didn't...I was obviously not alive at the time but doing some research and visiting the site you can't help but wonder...The x's on the road mark the sport where the shots hit...
