Personal Notes: The ballpark was lovely. Nice field, clean. Two levels of seating with a walkway separating the two. I saw my first 4 strikeout inning when visiting this stadium. At the time I visited this stadium, the BayBears were the AA affiliate of the San Diego Padres. They are currently (2014 season) affiliates of the Arizona Diamondbacks. As far as visiting Mobile, don't bother. I couldn't wait to get out of the city. I felt unsafe in Mobile; it wasn't a pretty city.
