We spent four hours here and we could have spent four times that much. There is just so much to see, it is overwhelming! (But no more pictures because they don't allow photography inside.) Suffice to say we spent a lot of time at the Elvis exhibit and at the special Doors exhibit (a total experience!). From there it was back to the hotel to check in and then off to Progressive Field to catch the Cleveland Indians vs. the Minnesota Twins.
A nice mom and her daughter from the Boston area (by coincidence, staying at a hotel in our neck of the woods near Youngstown for the PONY softball tourney) took this shot of us. We had purchased a multi-ticket pack at Sam's Club and upgraded to aisle, box seats in Section 150 just minutes before the gates opened. A big crowd (33,500) saw a heckuva game including a wild first inning in which the Indians scored four runs despite awesome Twins' defense in which three high-risk outfielding maneuvers lead to two outs and one hospitalization.
Here's a view from our great seats. The usher told us, and she was correct, that we had the best seats in the house for the post-game fireworks.
After a 5-4 win (and a near repeat of the Randy Myers poster fiasco just moments after Mary uttered something about it), the fireworks show was amazing.
After this grand finale, we walked out and found a cab and hit the hotel lounge for a nightcap. A terrific day!
Saturday: our beloved Mahoning Valley Thunder arena football team ends its season against the team from Green Bay. I am warming up my booing...
Green Bay sucks! Green Bay sucks! Green Bay sucks!
Ah... That feels so good...
More later,
Mark

Yes, Green Bay sucks indeed. It looks like you and Mary are having fun and blooming in your new digs. I bet that Hall of Fame is terrific.
