[Rhodes22-list] It's time for Baseball!

[Brad Haslett]

Slim,

Without a doubt, the best value in baseball is the minor leagues.  Alex and
I used to watch Memphis Redbirds games at the old Tim McCarver park and
they'd be lucky to draw more fans than players.  The new Autozone Park and
the Redbirds are owned by a non-profit corporation and the response has been
outstanding.  Autozone Park is consistently rated as the best minor league
park in the nation.  They even have cheerleaders!

Come down and watch a game some time.  The park is one block from Beale
Street so if the game doesn't go your way, you can always get over your
blues with some blues.

Brad
