FLORENCE, KY - TOUR STOP

July 19, 2006

After several youth events in Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio it was time to try our hand at some professional baseball. We went to Champion Window Field, home of the Florence Freedom, and had our biggest crowd yet.

Usually, we just have about six participants per every round of our Baseball Card Challenge. This time we had to have as many as 12 just to get everyone involved as quickly as possible.

We were set up on the third base side next to a kid’s area, and it couldn’t have been a better place for us. Luckily, no one was hit by a foul ball since everyone was consumed with the game.

The Freedom put on a show for the fans putting up seven runs in their half of the first inning. Their opponent, the Kalamazoo Kings, could not make a comeback as the Freedom took the series’ final game 9-3.

It was great to check out some Minor League Baseball while we were in the Cincinnati area. The fans seemed like they had a blast hanging out with the Baseball Youth Road Trip and watching a Freedom victory. It can’t get much better than that.
