In July, I went to the Oklahoma City (OKC) to see some baseball with good friends Larry Roth and Mary Lynch. Over three days, we were able to squeeze in some good meals, a few sites & the following games: July 5th: Oklahoma City Dodgers vs. Las Vegas Aviators
See, this is why I can enjoy your baseball trips. Because of all the interesting places and things that have little or nothing to do with sports. Except for the Jim Thorpe Museum & Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame. Wow. Mickey Mantle was from Oklahoma. I knew about Jim Thorpe from the Burt Lancaster movie, “Jim Thorpe- All-American” (1951).
The Travelogue contained descriptions of famous landmarks, water taxis, the OKC Streetcar, and the Memorial & Museum to honor those affected by the 1995 bombing. My sister’s birthday is on the anniversary of the OKC bombing; April 19th. My birthday is on the anniversary of the Capitol Riot; January 6th. I thought maybe that said something, but I don’t know what.
And, of course, the Mascot pictures. You look so at-home with those Mascots. These mascot-dogs represent the role dogs played in leading cattle herds over long stretches of the old Chisolm Trail.
I’ve never even heard of Eddy Alvarez, but just knowing that you met his parents, and found out so much about his background, makes him a big deal in my book.
Thanks for letting us travel along with you, Jon ☺️
