AKRON AEROS vs PORTLAND SEA DOGS
7,8 & 9 JUN
My favorite baseball player (Travis Shaw) returned home for a three game stent against my beloved Cleveland Indians Double A farm team the Akron Aeros. I had this day marked on my calendar all season. I got tickets for all three games behind the visitors dugout, where last year I got two game balls... will my luck continue? Travis had been in a slump lately and when he left Ohio, he was still in the slump. He was 1 for 9 with 3K's 3BB and 1SB. In the end the good guys (Akron) took the series 2-1. As always I was on the hunt for autographs at the game. I put all my efforts on the Portland Seas Dogs and after the three game series was over I made a killing; I had 9 autographs (8 Travis Shaw and 1 Xander Bogaerts [Red Sox number 1 prospect]) 1 game used baseball and one night was bobblehead give-a-way where the person was at the game and signed one of the bobbleheads.
The Akron Aeros won the 1012 Eastern Leagues Double A Championship, but I could not find the pennant anywhere. I walked to the box office and asked one of the workers where the pennant was. She told me it was in the lobby of front office. I told her I want to take a picture of it and she lead me to the office. I got a picture of the 2012 Champions pennant and also saw all four Championships trophies from 2003, 2005, 2009 and 2012. I'm glade I asked, or I would never have seen them. Another view of the game behind closed doors.
As a foot note the MLB draft was held during this week and five players from Kent State was drafted Tyler Skulina P (4th R Cubs), Taylor Williams P (4th R Brewers), Eric Dorsch P (21st R Reds), Derek Todvine 2B (22nd R Yankees) and George Roberts (26th R Diamondbacks). This makes the third straight years that Kent State had five or more players drafted in a season.
