A Minor League Experience By Eric Castillo
I went to a Somerset Patriots game and they were playing against the Lancaster Barnstormers. I went early with my dad so we could get good seats. We got seats in the third or fourth row and right next to the Patriots dugout. I saw the manager of the Patriots and got his autograph because he was the one and only former Yankee great Sparky Lyle. I also went up to their third baseman for his autograph because he is Jeff Nettles, the son of the former Yankee great Graig Nettles. I talked with him a bit but then he had to go warm up. The game went into extra inning and people left so I moved up to the front row to watch the game and I saw one of the players in the dugout playing with one of the used balls. When he was finished he called me over and threw me the ball. The game ended when one of the Patriot hitters drove in the winning run to win the game.

Good! you don't happen to know the name of the player who gave you the ball do you?
Guy I know plays for the barnstormers. They have a pretty sweet park too.

I have also been to the Newark Stadium. It's very nice too. Most of these minor league stadiums are really nice.

Yeah that's him. He was in the dugout because he was injured at the time so he wasn't playing.

I've been to several minor league stadiums and they all have good seats no matter where you sit. It's because they don't usually have more than one or two decks.
