We went to the River Cats home opener against the Reno Aces last Friday, April 16. Despite being cold and windy, it was a fun night, complete with $1 hot dogs. The Cats won, 8 to 4.
Mom worked at Raley Field during River Cats games and other events for the past two summers, and really enjoyed watching the games. She would excitedly tell John about the games, and do her best to get the baseball lingo correct.
Many of her friends and co-workers at Raley Field contacted me after I published the notice of her passing in The Bee, and they were all so kind and had such nice things to say about her. The River Cats administration even sent a card, and called to express to me that it was tough to lose two members of the River Cats family in such a short amount of time (the owner, Art Savage, also died in November). I'll be supportive of the River Cats not only because mom loved them, but also because of their kindness.
