It's an off-day for the IronPigs, who finished off the recent home stand last night with a win over the Louisville Bats. Today is a lovely late spring day and the 'Pigs are headed to Cooperstown with Ryne Sandberg, their Hall of Fame manager. I don't know whose idea this was but it's marvelous. Wish I were there!
After touring the hall with Sandberg, the team will head for Pawtucket, Rhode Island, for a set with the PawSox. There the road will get tougher for the first-place 'Pigs as they will be without Brian Gordon, a mainstay of the rotation this season, and may be losing Vance Worley, their top pitching prospect, as well, should he be called back to Philadelphia to pitch on Saturday in Seattle.
