Mudhens Mishap: A Comedy of Errors (and Stale Buns) Picture this: I arrive at the Mudhens game, brimming with optimism and a healthy appetite. Ten minutes early, mind you, like the responsible fan I am. But before I can even bask in the pre-game buzz, chaos erupts. A rogue couple storms the entrance, demanding their rightful seats (apparently, punctuality trumps the posted opening time). The door guy, bless his heart, stands his ground, informing them it's not yet showtime. Cue the dramatic phone call, the escalating argument, and the growing chorus of disgruntled fans behind me. I'm pretty sure I developed a nervous twitch during that whole ordeal. Inside, the game itself was as thrilling as watching paint dry, and the Mudhens, well, they did their usual Mudhens thing (read: lost). The food, oh the food. It was a culinary adventure, and not in a good way. Imagine frozen hockey pucks masquerading as burgers, nestled lovingly in stale buns. The hotdogs? Potentially edible, if not for the aforementioned bun situation. Even the rowdy neighbors in the next suite couldn't distract from the gastronomic disappointment. As if the evening wasn't already a bust, the stairwell became my own personal horror movie set. A pack of guys cornered me, relentlessly demanding my social media handles. Security, ever vigilant, watched from a safe distance as I fended off these digital Casanovas. And then, the final insult. As we exited, they were handing out baseball cards. My partner got one, no problem. I reached out... and was met with a snicker and a dismissive wave. Apparently, chivalry is dead, and so is my enthusiasm for the Mudhens. So, there you have it. A night of near-death experiences (at the hands of stale buns), awkward encounters, and a healthy dose of door-guy-induced frustration. The Mudhens might want to consider adding "crowd control" and "edible food" to their to-do list for next season. As for me, I'll be enjoying my baseball from the comfort of my couch, thank...

Read moreOn Thursday, June 12, 2025, I took several family members to see the Mud Hens play Omaha. We were in town to honor my late father and I wanted to attend a game because he had taken me to the original stadium on Key Street when I was a boy. I have to say this is one of the best values in all of Toledo. For about twenty dollars per person you can spend a few hours watching baseball and soaking in the great stadium atmosphere the Mud Hens have created. When there is no action on the field the club offers plenty of entertainment between innings. My personal favorites were the Freeze Cam and the Grass Snow Angel contest. The on-field host was charismatic and kept every little game lively. Food, drink and team merchandise were reasonably priced and we found nearby parking even though we arrived in the third inning. Although we would have preferred a Mud Hens win we still had a fantastic time and will do it again next time we are in town. The Mud Hens are a first-class example of what a Triple-A baseball club should...
