The Baseball Trip 2019

Day 8, Saturday, July 20

Move along, nothing to see here. Except that I lost more money. This time at a casino. With a race track next door to the casino. I didn't want to lose any more money, so I sat and watched the Cubs at the sports book. Randy wandered over to the track, and I said I'd meet him there after a while.

And the horses weren't running. It was too hot. 100 degrees. I guess he'd been playing the ponies at the OTB.

The place is called PARX Casino and Racetrack, and it's just outside of Philadelphia.

So...one suspended game, one rain-out, one cancelled racing day. The weather is not our friend.

Empty racetrack:

Empty paddock:

Favorite town names: Lester, PA
                                      Chester, PA

Favorite signs: The Pub Diner and Pub
                           Blue Ball Road
                           United Church of Prayer for Anyone

Random observation from Randy: It's is really hot and sweaty here. Good thing we're travelling south.

Things we cannot stick around for: Steve miller Band at PARX Casino.

Carnivals: 1 Yeah!

We head south to Lanham, Maryland, and listen to the Washington Nationals game on the radio.

Random observation from Randy: The Nationals are in Atlanta? We're not going to the game tomorrow night.

Next: DC
