Minor League Baseball, as the headline indicates, is awesome for many reasons. The youth, the prospects, the intimacy, the idiosyncrasies, the price, the food, the lack of misery associated with watching the big league team disappoint … it’s a fantastic experience.
But one of the other reasons minor league baseball is awesome? The whacky theme nights!
The Chicago Cubs’ Low-A affiliate, the Kane County Cougars, have announced their theme nights for the 2014 season, and there’s a whole lot of fun in there. The nice thing for Chicagoans is that Kane County is just west of the city in Geneva, so you can actually go to these things.
There are a couple Star Wars nights (last year, the Cougars wore Star Wars jerseys for the game), there’s a Princess Night (including a Daddy/Daughter date package … aw … ), and there are several Bark at the Park nights where you can bring your dog (what, no Purr at the Park?).
