Everything is right for the Iowa Cubs home opener.
- Friday, April 17, 7:05 pm
- Round Rock Express is coming
- Principal Park where the Raccoon and Des Moines Rivers meet; it’s a great ballpark!
- check the seating and prices then buy your tickets on-line
- pretty nice weather (It looks like 65 at game time with only a 10% chance of showers and 58 at 10 o’clock.)
- here’s the schedule
- and the 2009 roster
Just remember who you got to see last year, and don’t forget who has played in Des Moines in the past few years: Geovany Soto, the 2008 NL Rookie of the Year; Ryan Theriot; Micah Hoffpauir; Koyie Hill; Felix Pie; Eric Patterson. The Des Moines Register reports 15 returning starters from last season. It looks like we will be seeing Jason DuBois and Jeff Samardzija in Des Moines, at least for a while this year.
If you like baseball, it’s the place to be this weekend!
