back to baseball for the summer

Summertime in the Phoenix area doesn’t hit the same as it may in other parts of the country, as it is a time many look to stay indoors to escape the killer heat. The Chase Field baseball park is a great place to do just that.

For yesterday’s game I decided to take the metro rail from Mesa to the ballpark. For a round trip price of four dollars in comparison to twenty eight dollars or more for parking, and with the added benefit of not dealing with traffic in the downtown area, it was a no brainer. Some may be concerned with the “type” of people found on the Metro, but I had no issues, and actually truly enjoyed seeing the city and getting to downtown on this mode of transportation. It definitely will be what I use going forward.

For our Memorial Day holiday long weekend here in the USA, it was a perfect day full of fun, hotdogs, beer and a Diamondbacks win over rival Colorado by a score of 9-1. With great hits and infield plays, my first baseball game of 2026 was a success. Let’s bring on a winning season!
