TACOMA RAINIERS



The wife, the child, and I wandered from Mount Rainier to the Tacoma Rainiers (and wandered from Thursday into Friday as well). We visited Tacoma's Cheney Stadium for a minor league baseball game between the Rainiers and the Tucson Sidewinders. The Sidewinders defeated the Rainiers in the thirteenth inning (10 to 8), but we left in the bottom of the eleventh.

We had a meal that was part of our admission fee. It consisted of a hot dog, a bag of chips, and a can of soda. The soda was the highlight of the evening for the child, since the child is rarely allowed to drink it. The boiled and bland hot dog was the lowlight of the evening for Troy's Work Table, since Troy's Work Table loves a well done hot dog and this was its antithesis. It was easily one of the worst "hot dog experiences" Troy's Work Table has ever endured.

The excitement of the game more than countered the lackluster meal, however. It was great to watch two teams battle on the "field of dreams."
