Game #19 GameThread: Jays @ Diamondbacks
Baseball: NLDS Playoffs: Overall scenic view of Miller Park during Milwaukee Brewers vs Arizona Diamondbacks game. Game 1. Milwaukee, WI 10/1/2011 CREDIT: John Biever (Photo by John Biever /Sports Illustrated via Getty Images) (Set Number: X86468 TK1 R4 F63 ) The Jays are in beautiful, downtown Phoenix, Arizona (well, I don’t know if it is beautiful or not), for three games against the Diamondbacks.
Yet another park with a retractable roof. I remember how strange it was when the Jays had the retractable roof, all those years ago. They had real grass in Phoenix until 2019 when they put in fake grass.
They say it was to save water, as Arizona does have water supply issues. My parents did the snowbird thing to Arizona, every year, for many years, Yuma. I haven’t been there, but it seemed like a nothing little place in the desert.
One of the ways I’m different than they were: I like the idea of going somewhere new, instead of going to the same place all time. But then, they had their friends and activities there. I’d like to go to Phoenix sometime.
Not in the next three years, but maybe sometime after that. Go Jays Go
