AAA in downtown is enough to make me giggle like a school girl....take in a summer saturday afternoon game then walk to the bars downtown. (of course I'll be 40 then...sonofa)

:wank:

Yeah, I'll take a few afternoons of work skipping, 10-15 dollar games and reasonable beer in good weather a year over MLB hoopla downtown as well.

Most people on here are too new or too young to remember the Charlotte O's. The AA team of the Baltimore Orioles. They played at Crockett Park on Magnolia Street near Uptown. You didn't want to park outside the 3rd base line for fear of getting a broken windshield. Lots of famous players came through here with the "O's".

Weekkend nights on wooden bleachers drinking beer. Jim Crockett died and the "O's" became the Knights (sold to George Shinn) and Charlotte didn't want an Uptown stadium. Crockett Wrestling empire was sold to Turner Broadcasting then to Vince McMahon.

Well so far the Mudcats over by Raleigh have not drawn well and have lost money for several years. They have a nice stadium but have not been able to fill it consistently.

I like baseball and beer. That is all I have to add to this topic at this time.

I remember the O's, what a great old park. When we were kids my younger brother ran down to the dugout and got one of Cal Ripken Jr's cracked bats. Still has it.

This too. Baseball, beer and titties all downtown would be heaven on earth.

Did the "O's" play back when baseballs were made with horsehide, players didn't use gloves or helmets and bases were 4 ft. high metal stakes?
