Very cool, brand new ballpark and just a quick trip up (or down if you're Patty & Kevin - they probably don't care though) the Northeast Extension and you can see a Lehigh Valley IRONPIGS Triple-A baseball game. Tickets approx. $9. Only about 15 minutes from Eddie and Susan's house. Exhibition game this Sunday vs those Phightin' Phils. Their mascot's name is "Ferrous" (as in IRON). "Pork Chop" was the first name they had until they were told it was a slur against the Hispanic community. What do you think? Can you suggest a better name for the mascot? Does anyone care?

How about if we have a major sporting event without Referees, Umpires, Judges or Stewards? I Love that a 65 to one shot did ...

Gotta love it...baseball at the minor league level and at the major league level, has never been healthier...in spite of the idiots who try to denegrate this great game, with their steroids etc...shame on you Clemens, Rose,Mcguire...The game is bigger than the players...long live the Game! Go Iron Pigs...Good luck!
I love it! The trip to Scranton for a minor league game was a little to far. This is a great trip.
I also like the name. Minor league teams are supposed to have wacky names like:
Rancho Cucamonga Quakes
Toledo Mud Hens...
No one Knows what a "Ferrous" Is!!! Why not just name the Mascot "PIG"?
My dear Pea,
FERROUS is not a thing (noun) it is a descriptive word (adjective) meaning "of or containing IRON". Proper useage, "My diet is full of Ferrous".
St. Columba's edition.
i think the Caballero is full of "ruffage"!
I heard them pigs weren't too happy with them Hispanos either. I've been around the block a few times and ain't never heard nobody in a Chebby called no pig iron!
UUHHHH, Slim, What's a CHEBBY?
I believe that would be a Chebrolet, prefferably an Impala w/hanging ju-ju beads
Hey Gay, you crazee man? Jew don't know what a Chebby ease? You usea own one muchacho!! 1964 Yellow Chebby weet a bucket seat mahn.
Slim, No bucket seats. I had to have my "HONEY" up close and personal.
