So I went to my first Vipers game last night . . . I have to admit the owner has really put his blood and sweat into the operations with improvements to the stadium, in-game promotions, first place team, etc. However it was missing one thing: People. They swept Fargo last night in front of just about 1,200 fans. At one point I dropped my empty beer can and echo's can be heard. I know it was only about 17 degrees last night but I recall going to many Cannons games in April where the weather was damn near freezing and seeing more fans in the stands. I used to have the attitude that I didn't want to bother with the Vipers because they weren't the Cannons, however I figure if we're ever going to get an affiliated team again we're going to have to show Winnipeg-like support for the Vipers. I love baseball and wait in hopes of an affiliated franchise back to town possibly in that 'A' Rookie league that has teams in Montana.
