Alexandria Aces Schedule 2008

If you have not gone down to Four Mile Run Park yet, you gotta get down there before the end of July. There is something new going on this summer; it is called The Alexandria Aces. The Alexandria Aces are a part of the collegiate summer wooden bat baseball series. They are the eighth and newest franchise of the Cal Ripken, Sr. Collegiate Baseball League.

Going to the game is a ton of fun without the hundreds of dollars in expense, and even with great parking. I have been a couple of times to games with Jennifer and the kids and even Stryde had a great time, mostly running around and getting his face painted (he screamed at the top of his lungs when he saw his face painted like Iron Man). One night I took Dryver and one of his friends and they were selected to run in the dizzy bat in the 8th inning.

The games are great as the teams are really talented and you can see how they really take this seriously as it is one step in a long path to becoming a pro. There are even groupies that hang out to meet the players and probably hope to go out to drinks after the game. They have fun activities for all the family members, including a gift shop for mom, face painting for the kids, great races and run between inning entertainment, and even homemade bbq.

If you find yourself, and your kids, with nothing to do but watch TV or a movie, get out to Four Mile Run and watch The Aces. I guarantee you will have a blast! Plus the tickets are only $5 for adults and $3 for kids.
