The July meeting of the Rogers Hornsby Chapter will include a trip to an Austin Weirdos baseball game as the Weirdos take on the Roswell Invaders at Parque Zaragosa in East Austin at 6:30 pm. on Saturday, July 9. The Weirdos are playing their inaugural season in the independent Pecos League.
A Weirdos game is vastly different than a game at the home of an affiliated team, such as the Round Rock Express. Seating consists of covered bleachers behind home plate (bring along a stadium seat if you want anything resembling comfort). Concessions are very limited and the restrooms are porta-johns. The PA system consists of a guy and a bullhorn. There is no scoreboard so spectators must pay attention!
Game tickets are $10 each and may be purchased online on the Weirdos’ website. There is parking along both sides of Gonzales Street to the south of the field. Just be careful not to park in the home run zone beyond the right/right center field fence!
