Ever wondered what it’s like to see a 95 mph fastball from the on-deck circle? When was the last time you saw an inside-the-ballpark-home-run?
Well, “sports fans” this is the place for you! Terrific seats, low price and a laugh or two with the Tourists Ball Club mascot, “Teddy Tourist”.
And the Asheville Tourists’ home is McCormick Field that originally dates from 1924. Of course, it’s been renovated recently and the food is great, too. You may also recall McCormick Field as the place where, in the movie “Bull Durham”, the character played by Kevin Costner hits his 248th career home run. Sure enough, that was Asheville!
And the 2011 Asheville Tourists season also includes five special Baseball and Fireworks Event dates:
“Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks. I don’t care if we never get back…” You’ll be humming the tune and remembering special moments from your great weekend of fun and baseball in Asheville. See you soon!
