Can you feel it? The excitement is in the air. It’s baseball season! Grab your hat and glove and head to Raley Field on Thursday, April 4 to see your River Cats open their 2013 season against the Las Vegas 51s. The smell of fresh-cut grass should be even more potent this year at the ballpark, as Raley crews worked for 16 days in the offseason on the playing surface, marking the first time the entire field has been replaced since the year 2000. The River Cats have won the last six Pacific South Division titles and have won 11 division titles in their 13 years of existence. Talk about a good track record! First pitch for the home opener on April 4 is at 7:05 p.m., and tickets start at just $8 to sit in the “Toyota Homerun Hill.” Bring blankets or chairs and it’s comfy enough, trust us. It also happens to be “Thirsty Thursday” that night, where all 12-ounce Miller and Miller Lites are just $2, so there’s that, too. Visit Rivercats.com for more information and to purchase tickets online.
