Summer of Baseball: Trenton provides some thunder

November 24, 2015

If you are a fan of minor league baseball, I’m sure you’ll see what I did with the headline.

If not, read on.

This stop on the 2015 Summer of Baseball Tour took us to Arm & Hammer Park, home of the Trenton Thunder, the AA affiliate of the New York Yankees.

All ready!

All ready!

This is one of those parks I’ve heard a lot about and have wanted to visit, so it was nice to be able to get to a game. Even better was this completed a weekend with back-to-back games in Lakewood and Trenton.

First, it’s not a hard place to find and the area seems nice. It’s right next to the Delaware River, so if you are there before a game, you can wander down to the water and take in a relaxing moment or two.

Once in, the stadium is a nice spot for a game and it’s definitely a baseball atmosphere, which is nice.

First, the concessions are quality. There are a lot of solid choices, which is good. Besides the normal, there are a couple of good selections for one to grab. The hot dogs are quality, which is an important aspect for me.

Seating is solid at this stadium and the sight lines are great. You are close to the action and feel like the game is definitely the focal point. Everybody wasn’t up and down the whole game, which I appreciated. It seemed like the Thunder crowd is a baseball crowd. That’s always a good thing.

You can see me on the big screen!

The stadium isn’t a full wrap concourse, but that was OK as there was enough room for the more than 5,000 people here this night.

We also got on the big screen, so that was cool.

The fans were into the game (it was a close game, too, so that made it fun) and made the atmosphere solid.

The team store is also pretty solid. It’s a tad small in regard to space, but there’s a decent amount of things to grab.

In the end, I’m glad I finally had the chance to get to see a game in Trenton.  It’s a nice stadium. There is plenty of parking available and it’s easy to get into and out of before and after games. Prices were average.

If you are looking for a baseball experience and are close to Trenton, it’s well worth going there to watch a game.

I guess the April Fool's joke is on us, Mother Nat I guess the April Fool's joke is on us, Mother Nature? Oh .. ha ha ha.

I also guess this is why hitting back roads to work is good -- you can stop and take a photo and not worry about anybody coming (usually)! Main roads around here are fine for now, but it's definitely quite picturesque on the lawns/trees etc.

I mean, if you hold a #Wrestlemania in an open stadium... eventually rain delays had to come, right? 🤣
