Just a reminder for anyone interested in attending... They also serve beer & spirits at the games. All the concessions are 75% less that those at a major league game. You can enjoy a beer, a brat or some BBQ tri-tip, some surf music and even some baseball.

I stopped by and TOTALLY HAD A GREAT TIME!
The combination of seeing THE ELIMINATORS for the first time, and people-watching the baseball fans pass by and head into the stadium, was a most unsteady experience!!
thanks Tim for putting this together, and very special thanks to Jeff/BigTikiDude for reminding me about this event, which i was able to work into my schedule befrore the DAVIE ALLAN show at THE JUKE JOINT later that night
THE ELIMINATORS just blew me away; I scratched my jaw a few times on the ground, I swear!!! Great sound, cool get-up and gear.....OK enuf out of me

John was in Colorado so the "original" Eliminators did the gig. Thanks for posting & coming by Freddie. Great night. Beer, brats & baseball after the gig.
The team was late returning from their road trip because the bus broke down so the game was a bit late starting. They turned off the music in the stadium so the crowd of 4500 could hear the Eliminators playing by the stadium entrance.
A military vet of the Iraq war threw out the first ball. He was blinded by a roadside bomb. Surf music seem pretty trivial at that moment.
