Last days of the Grizzlies

The Fresno Grizzlies are done for the year - at "The Chuck" anyway. Below is a slide show of some shots Dorktown got from Saturday night's game.

I've noticed at the ballgame, over the past few years, true baseball fans are ignored at the stadium (that's reflected in the pictures). It's all about between inning shtick and pleasing people that don't give a shit who the starting pitchers are.

Many times the players and umps are ready to start an inning but the shtick is still going. Players are forgotten to be announced when they're substituted in. Out of town scores only occasionally get shown. The park runs out of hotdogs in the fifth inning...it goes on and on.

And these kind of things happen every game, no matter what goofhead thing the Grizzlies promotions department has going on.

How about THIS for a promotion next year guys: BASEBALL FAN NIGHT!

Parker has a death wish

Is this just a simple mascot stunt for opening night of the Fresno Grizzlies season, or is it a cry for help from a suicidal bear? You decide as you watch Fresno Grizzlies mascot, Parker, come in for a landing after jumping out of an airplane above Downtown Fresno.
