a night with
the salem red sox

it's AWFUL NIGHT at the ballpark and this georgia girl is ready to see how it's done in virginia! although i'm an atlanta brave through-and-through, i'll never miss a chance to yell for the boys, any boys. and with one named mookie, you can't go wrong!
there's a perfect night in this 2014 schedule to see the 2013 carolina league champions
who are definitely
"growing champions down on the farm."

for the most current news, follow on facebook.
my night with the red sox: july 12, 2013
2,008 in attendance
salem memorial baseball stadium -
home to the single-a advanced salem red sox
of the carolina league
Picture
it's mugsy, the red sox mascot, smoozing up to this little one just as the sun starts to set.
Picture
she greeted me at the gate and another promptly handed me salem's version of a paper weight - a sheet of paper with the salem 's' logo stamped on it. viriginians must not have issues keeping things in place.
in 2014, check out pay it forward night (june 28), parrot head night (july 17), country night (july 31) and even harry potter night (august 8).
find all special promotions here.
Picture
no matter which team holds your heart, you can't say an evening in salem, viriginia, is bad. look at that backdrop - the blue ridge mountains on one side and, on this night, the salem fair lighting up the sky on the other. if you don't watch the game (shame on you!), there's lots of scenery to capture your attention.

winning salem red sox pitcher kyle kraus
[2014 stats: 4.85 era; 2-1 w-l; 1 s; 21 so]
[selected by the boston red sox in the seventh round of the 2012 first-year player draft from university of portland]

it's america's game. it's also a southerner's dream. a night at the ballpark. hotdogs. cold beer. seventh inning stretch followed by two dominant innings that decide who gets to celebrate.  on july 12, it was the home team that got to celebrate with a 4 to 3 victory over the washington potomac nationals. the national's season thus far was 53 wins,35 losses. the salem red sox, 45 wins, 47 losses. winning pitcher: kyle kraus with the save credited to matt price. losing pitcher: brian rauh.

salem takes it 4-3 as the fireworks lift off on the screen. bad weather or not, salem will have fireworks
Picture
a delicious ending with neil diamond's 'sweet caroline' roaring from every corner of the stadium just about the beginning of the 8th inning
