Take me out to da ballgame

Cocks swept the SEC Tigers this past weekend.
We got 4 tickets to next Tuesday's game with Furman
in Greenville at the Drive's new stadium.
Neat ball park. Located in downtown.
Last year my Dad, who is 90 and played in the
old Textile Leagues, got to throw out the first pitch
at a game. He LOVED it!
He loves to show the trophy encased ball to everyone
he meets. Got a nice plaque and pic too. :grinpimp:

Way to go Jake!
Gamecocks wind up sweeping the Tigers this year.
Last night's 6-0 win makes them 4-0 for the season.
USC out scored CU 28 to 3 for the year. :grinpimp:
 
Fluor Field game

Dang, the new downtown Greenville baseball park ROCKS!
We just got back from the Furman vs USC baseball game played there.
Beautiful setting. Good food and :beer: in the park.
The Liberty Bar & Grill next door was hopping with a mass of Gamecock fans before the game.
Game was a sellout with about 90% of the fans wearing Gamecock gear.
They allow passouts (no pun intended) so for the 7th inning stretch I was able to
walk over and get my shot of turkey on the rocks to prepare for a whale of an ending with
the game tied at 2 a piece. Even got to catch a quick hockey and Braves update on the big screens
at the bar. :grinpimp:
Monster, 3 run, top of the 9th inning shot to the partying fans out past left field on their balcony.
Cocks 5 Furman 2.
Followed by Furman with with winning run at the plate in the bottom of the 9th with 2
runners aboard and 2 outs. :eek:
Final score USC 5 Furman 3. What a game.
You Clemson fans should check it out tomorrow night for the CU vs PC game.

Winthrop in the past has had a good baseball program. I don't know now. About an hr and a half drive from Greenville.

What does he want to major in?

Has he looked at Clemson?

I was at the game last night. Clemson played well against PC.

Love the park. Nothing like an ice cold beer, a hot dog and college girls.:D


We need to have a club outing there sometime. Tickets were 6 dollars.

Come to Greenville during a baseball game and I'll buy you a couple tickets.


Now if we could get them to move the Bi-Lo center right next door we would be set.
 
medicine...yeppers the boy wants to be an orthopedic dr or physical therapist or something to do with medicine...clemson is one of the hardest baseball programs to get into...i think he would love to play there...but getting that opportunity could be hard...of coarse any recomendation from you SC guys would be appreciated....i am certain they would not have to ask him twice!
