5:30 AM : Glenn and I are off to Glenwood to meet up with our team Pedaling For Parkinson's. Wish us luck...I will fill you in when (finally) at our first destination....much later in the day. I can only hope that there is some mighty fine pie waiting for me there. Toodles.
A fun fact to know and tell before I leave Omaha:
Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium is a baseball stadium in Omaha,Nebraska, the former home to the annual NCAA Division I College World Series and the minor league Omaha Royals, now known as the Omaha Storm Chasers. Rosenblatt Stadium was the largest minor league baseball stadium in the United States.
The final College World Series game at Rosenblatt Stadium was played on June 29, 2010; with the South Carolina Gamecocks defeating the UCLA Bruins to win the 2010 College World Series. The final game for the Royals in the stadium, and under the Royals name, was played on September 2, 2010, with the Royals defeating the Round Rock Express. Now that both series have been concluded, the Omaha Nighthawks played their 2010 season at Rosenblatt; Creighton Prep played a football game there as well. Following those, Rosenblatt was replaced by TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. Rosenblatt Stadium will be torn down in the future and eventually turned into a park, as a part of the Henry Doorly Zoo.
