Road to Wrigley Recap

Final Score: Iowa Cubs 5, LV 51s 4

My thoughts: Great time at the ballpark! Good on the field entertainment in between innings. A Bird Mascot entertained the crowd by dancing with a fake umpire, having a dance off with the bat boy, tossing the third baseman's glove into the stands, and more. I bet the AAA guys had a great time. I got there as the 51s were taking BP (the I-Cubs had already finished). Got lots of autographs including Jason Lane (former Astro, now with Las Vegas), Buck Coates (former Cub farm hand, now with 51s), Luis Rivas, Chris Robinson, and Bobby Scales. Micah Hoffpauir made his Iowa Cubs season debut at Wrigley after being sent down last week.
