Indianapolis

Indianapolis, in my opinion, has to be considered as the most under-rated sports town in America. They have such a great city, with spectacular facilities (Victory Field, home of the Indianapolis Indians, the RCA Dome and the new Lucas Oil Field, home of the Indianapolis Colts, and Conseco Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers). The city of Indianapolis is spectacular, it is clean, friendly, and has a great vibe about it, and the fans love their sports; they are nuts for the Chicken too.

We had a very brief stay in Indianapolis, only one night at the Westin Indianapolis, but it was a great stay, in a city that is one of my favorites. Our show at the Indians game was considered a full complete game (5 full innings) but a massive thunderstorm came rolling through and the game was called after a 2 hour rain delay. We did get a good majority of our show in, but it was unfortunate that the fans did not get to appreciate an entire evening. During one of our skits, our other intern George dressed up like the opposition's short-stop and gets karate flipped by the chicken. The trainer in this specific skit was Matt Rankin, of the Toledo Mud Hens, who took the skit one step higher to the next level. Our guy pretends to really be hurt, so Rankin took a ammonia/salt stick, stuck it by George's noise and it was one of the funniest things because no trainer has played along that well, and it was just a great little addition. But as stated earlier, the game was suspended due to rain, so we actually did not do that well selling our merchandise, but we figured we would sell it eventually down the road.

After the game, we were actually out of the ballpark before 11:30pm, we grabbed a quick bite to eat at Champions Restuarant, which was connected to our hotel. We all went, Jane, Dave, Ted, George, Joe, and I, and we had a great time!!

The next day we drove to Louisville, Kentucky to work the Triple-A All Star Game. Once all of the All Star "stuff" is completed, I will be sure to post again; most likely on Thursday because we have a long travel day. Take care, and God Bless!
