7/29/09: Charlotte Knights vs Syracuse Chiefs

Awful day, full of rain. The only reason I really showed up was because Frank Howard was signing autographs. He was the 1960 National League Rookie of the Year, and led the American League in home runs for two seasons. Of course, as is the case with most Syracuse promotions, it was total chaos. I was, however, able to grab him before the assinine 1/2 hour before the game that they made him leave to throw a first pitch. Relatively stupid, but that's Syracuse management. Unfortunately, we also found out today that Corey Patterson took his release. A nice guy, he will be missed around the ballpark!

Cards:

Charlotte
Norris Hopper - 2
Chris Chambliss (Manager) - 2
Brent Lillibridge - 1

Syracuse
Elijah Dukes - 1

Misc
Frank Howard - 2

Cards Today - 8, Overall - 532
