They were forced to cancel their July 4th weekend games due to soggy conditions, despite having a beautiful day for baseball.

The games are being moved to Coca Cola Field in Allentown (home of the IronPigs), but they are offering free tickets to any Moosic ticketholders, as well as free bonus tickets for Lehigh Valley’s season ticket holders.

It’s horrible to have these kinds of problems – must be a nightmare for the stadium operator. But, it appears that to the best of their ability, both Scranton and Allentown are trying to do right by the fans as much as possible.

More details area available from the local news team here.

Paul Lukas has taken his concept, and made a site that is regularly entertaining and provides a fresh perspective on baseball that few others have even dared to tackle.

His passion for uniform aesthetics is not unlike how I feel about stadiums. Seeing how I believe my readers also “Get It” (nudge, nudge, wink wink Paul!), I saw a post on there today that may interest my readers.
A UniWatcher is organizing an outing to see the Altoona Curve on August 1. If you’re in the area, you may find some like-minded baseball obsessives to hang with. Details here.
