| The Park New Britain Stadium is home to the Minnesota Twins� Double A team, the Rock Cats. It�s not a bad park, but there�s really nothing interesting about it. What I found to be most memorable was a large panel on the fa�ade containing the logos of all the Eastern League teams and their parent clubs. The mascot was also kind of neat. |
| That Day I saw the Rock Cats play the New Haven Ravens, the St. Louis Cardinals� Eastern League affiliate, on the evening of August 2, 2001, after seeing an afternoon game in Pawtucket. Dee Snider, front man of the heavy metal band Twisted Sister and now a local radio personality, threw out the first pitch. New Haven scored first, on a home run in the 1st by Troy Farnsworth. New Britain came back with 2 in its half of the inning. That was all the Rock Cats would need, going on to win, 5-1. Pitcher Pete Fisher went 8 innings, giving up 1 earned run on 5 hits, walking 1 and striking out 8. |
