Bailey suggested it this afternoon (she's on the far right in the picture... with Don, Marcus and Mikaela). She and a band of merrymakers from work were heading out to see the Columbus Clippers play the Rochester somebodies. But, more importantly, it's Dime-a-Dog Night! Every hot dog is only 10 cents! It's like an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord for less than a dollar!
It's a whole new twist on "dinner and a show."
Don and I got to Cooper Stadium shortly after the game began... and immediately jumped in line for dogs. The lines were long enough that I was able to go to the ATM and grab a couple of beers before he was anywhere near the counter. But when we finally ordered, sure enough, five dogs, fifty cents. Sweet! We gorged.
The Clippers were down 5-1 until the eighth inning. They pulled out a spectacular, come-from-behind win, scoring six runs in the bottom of the eighth then holding off Rochester's attempts in the ninth.
It was a blast! And now we can say we've seen the Clippers play at The Coop. It's going to be great when they move to the new stadium in the Arena District next year!
