Say It Ain't So, Joe!

It just can't be summer without baseball, but the longer this pandemic drags on, the chillier the forecast appears.  At this writing, there is some talk about opening the major league season in some form or another (empty stands?) in July, but who knows?  This virus seems to have an angry mind of its own.
With that said, we decided to head out to Toyota Field in Madison, Alabama, to get a peek at what was in store for us when, or if, this season finally starts.
The Huntsville, Madison County area has been without a professional baseball team since the AA Huntsville Stars absconded in 2015 for, of all places, Biloxi, Mississippi.
So when a deal was struck in 2018 for the Mobile BayBears to relocate to the Rocket City, fans were excited and eager, especially when a new $46 million stadium was thrown in, even if it was way the hell out on the I-565 connector in suburban Madison, and even if the AA affiliate of the L.A. Angels was too cutesily renamed after a local alias for a raccoon:  the Trash Pandas.  True!
Well, even if we can't watch a game yet, we decided to check out the new ballpark, sans the Trash Pandas.  Here's the video of our tour https://youtu.be/BgUT93o9BWA
