On the Road Again-The Columbus Clippers

Hello to all my Alabama friends,

Another exciting day in Columbus. Today we went downtown to see Dodie's favorite place, Huntington Park. Huntington Park is the ballpark where the Columbus Clippers play baseball. The Clippers are the Triple A farm team for the Cleveland Indians. A farm team means that the Clippers team members can get "called up" to the big leagues if the Indians need them. The Clippers is a very good team; they won the Triple A pennant in 2010 and are in the play-offs again this year. The ballpark is a fun place to be.

We pulled around the stadium to the back to take my picture. We parked and jumped out of the car. A Franklin County Deputy Sheriff yelled over to us and asked if we planned to keep our car there. Dodie told him "no" that we just wanted to get a picture of Flat Stanley in front of the ballpark. Here it is.

This is a view of the park from the "good" seats.  Dodie likes sitting in those good seats.

The Clippers' colors are gray and blue. Their slogan is "This ship rocks." 

They also have a mascot named Krash. You touch Krash to give the team good luck. No Buckeyes for the Clippers! 

When we got back to the car, the Sheriff yelled, "Who is Flat Stanley?" We ran over and  Dodie showed me to him and then explained the story about me. The Sheriff agreed to have his picture taken with me. That was the best part of the day! You can see the home plate entrance right behind him.

That's all for now. We'll have another exciting adventure tomorrow. This ship rocks!

Your friend in Ohio,
Flat Stanley
