Time is running out to see a minor league baseball game. The Carolina Mudcats play their final game of the season Labor Day, tomorrow, at 2 p.m. while the Durham Bulls play their final regular season game of the season on Labor Day at 1:05 p.m.<\/p>\n
We’re blessed to have two terrific minor league ball parks and two great minor league organizations within driving distance in the Triangle.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, all the Durham Bulls coaches and players (except the four called up to the majors) and Wool E. Bull made appearances at a Kia car dealership next to the ball park. The food was good, the coaches were hospitable and the players were personable (except maybe the ones who have a limited grasp of the English language). It was a great event for children and autograph seekers.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Mudcats’ coach David Bell was on hand at a festival in Rolesville. Bell, the son of former major leaguer Buddy Bell and a 12-year veteran himself, spoke with folks as a regular person – no prima donna here. A native of Cincinnati, Bell and his lovely wife and daughter looked right at home in the Triangle area. It’s his second season at the helm. The Mudcats have a losing record this year but have had a number of players on the roster that are expected to do well at the major league level.<\/p>\n
Consider taking the drive to Zebulon to see the Mudcats Monday, especially if you haven’t been to a game out there this year. You’ll still have a chance to see the Bulls in the post season but the 1:05 p.m. game wouldn’t be a bad choice either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
