In pre-celebration of Phoenix hosting the All Star Game in 2011, VOTE FOR MARK REYNOLDS!
Okay, so it was almost 100 degrees but, still in the double digits in Downtown Phoenix which is a bit odd for this time of year. So, by now some of you may have read that I am a bit of a baseball geek. I know that I am not the only one but I do spend a ton of time scoping out what is going on in and around Chase Field. This weekend was no exception.
The Arizona Diamondbacks will officially launch their 2009 All-Star Game balloting campaign tonight prior to the 6:40pm game versus the Chicago Cubs.
Dubbed “Snake, Rattle and Vote,” fans can cast their vote for any of the eight D-backs players on the ballot during the next 25 home games until June 25. The team will once again encourage fans to visit the “All-Star Game Ballot Headquarters” behind the Picnic Pavilion on the main concourse in left field to be eligible for great prizes.
Monday marks the return of Major League Baseball to downtown Phoenix with the Arizona Diamondbacks opening the 2009 season against the Colorado Rockies.
Opening Day and the subsequent 81 home games at Chase Field are expected to give a much needed economic boost to bars and restaurants surrounding the stadium.
Baseball is important. At least to me.
Monday marks the start of the 11th season of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the first full season that the light rail will be running.
