I would encourage anyone on a nice spring day to take in a UK baseball game at Ky Proud Park. Great venue, gets you right up on the action. Went to a couple of the UK-IU regional games last year with my son and had a blast. College baseball, especially in person, is pretty dang cool.

I get that it isn't the big leagues, but I've always wondered why so many people pass through Lexington to spend more for a worse seat at a Reds game, especially when they are terrible. Same goes for trips across town to Legends games now that the school's policies have been dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming.

It's been awhile, but when I last attended a Kentucky game, it also seemed like the players went above and beyond to take photos with or sign balls for kids.
