Home of the Madison Mallards, who play in the Northwoods League. The teams are comprised of college players.
Somebody looks tired. Or perhaps this mascot is just visualizing his high-wire approach from beyond right field to home plate to deliver the game ball.
In spite of the overcast and breezy condition, the game attracted a crowd of 5,815.
The first 1200 fans received a free Madison Mallards t-shirt, modeled here by my wife.
The DWD group included Rose in her Apple Annie phase.
The Mallards held a 1-0 lead after 1 inning, but the Waterloo Bucks scored 2 runs in the top of the 2nd and never looked back. Final score, 6-3.
The tables we occupied are located in the Duck Blind, a segregated area bordering right field, where the price of a ticket includes all you can eat and drink. About 20 beers are available on tap. (The food selection is narrower.)
Surpringly, not a single or double or triple or homerun ball came our way, in spite of the preponderance of left-handed batters. We were located a short 295 feet from home plate.
Great facility for minor-league baseball, although not a place that will please purists of the sport. The game features nonstop entertainment and announcer chatter between innings. And they even play music between pitches! (You heard me right.)

We love the Mallards! My family went to last Saturday's game against the La Crosse Loggers. Mallards only lost by 1 that night. Mallards games are terrific family entertainment. I'm encouraging everyone I converse with to check out the Mallards!http://tinyurl.com/n6a4uy
