yeah that was a circus, The Umps had talked during the break in between the top and bottom of the 9th they decided to play. It was so bad that Isenia had to call time because he couldn't even and the umps couldn't even see him step out of the box!! so they had an argument over that which let the infield take a beating for a couple more minuets Kennedy the crew chief finally called for the tarp and it looked like the Biscuits grounds crew was struggling to get it on Razor had a heated conversation with it looked like the Montgomery GM there was a whole bunch of confusion over where the 2 runs would come off the board or what would happen Finally the Barons got the tarp on I left because I didn't see anyway that they could play again because the infield was nothing but mud. That was a wierd event

It looks like the game would either be suspended (with no makeup since they don't play each other again) or revert back to the 8th inning-with the Barons losing. Either way it seemed the Biscuits would benefit from calling the game. I bet if Montgomery had the lead with the Barons batting that tarp would have covered the field. The Barons players ended up helping pull the tarp because only half the infield was covered and the Montgomery GM said they couldn't get it done (too heavy?) with the people they had. Wierd indeed or convenient.

Great Pics. In your Rickwood sequence, there was an elderly gentleman on the field in a wheelchair. I am assuming this was an old ballplayer. Do you have any idea who that was?

Yes- I had him sign my ticket stub it says John Mattews I do remeber him saying he was Satchel Page's favorite Catcher.
