HUNTSVILLE, AL - TOUR STOP

July 27, 2006

The Baseball Youth Road Trip continues movin’ down south to the warm, sunny paradise that is Florida, but before we break out the beach towels and sunscreen, we decided to make a stop to see the AA Huntsville Stars and Birmingham Barons go at it.

The famous NASA Space Camp may call Huntsville, Ala., its home, but we found a hidden gem in Joe W. Davis Municipal Stadium. The Stars were looking to continue their chase up the Southern League’s North Division leader board, and they did just that with a 8-1 win over the Barons. It was the Stars’ fourth win in a row

Fans poured into the stadium to cheer on the Stars and the Baseball Youth zone was right there at the entrance to greet them. People of all ages played the Baseball Card Challenge and won free prizes, including several stadium workers sneaking a break.

Two lucky kids won the chance to go on the field in the middle of the fourth inning for a chance to win free tickets to a future Stars game. They went on the field wearing their Baseball Youth Road Trip shirts proudly and won their tickets.

It was great experiencing another minor league game, and now it’s time to head out of Alabama so we can get to the Sunshine State for some more youth baseball.
