A special guest was in attendance for the game, John O&#8217;Hurley. He is known for his role as J. Peterman on Seinfeld, as well as other gigs such as Family Feud. The Knights had a t-shirt giveaway for the first 2,000 fans. They handed out shirts that said &#8220;Knights&#8221; in the Seinfeld font. O&#8217;Hurley met with just about every fan in the stadium, signing autographs and taking photos. He also stuck around for a pregame on-field interview, to throw the first pitch, and do a wonderful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Yada, yada, yada, the fans really enjoyed his presence.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">So cool that my daughter, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sleeeping?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@sleeeping<\/a> and I were among the first at the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KnightsBaseball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KnightsBaseball<\/a> game to meet <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ImJohnOHurley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ImJohnOHurley<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Seinfeld?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Seinfeld<\/a> night!

Two thunderstorms collided above Uptown Charlotte, bringing downpour and lighting onto BB&amp;T Ballpark. The tarp was wisely rolled onto the field before the rain began, and the game entered a weather delay. After a two and a half hour delay, the storms passed and the players took the field. Madrigal, who would be making his AAA debut in less than 30 min, signed his first AAA autographs for the fans who waited out the rain. Luis Robert also came over to sign for the fans.

Formerly the Warthogs, the Dash changed their name when they got their new ballpark in 2009. Here is the clever reasoning behind their new name: Winston DASH Salem. The stadium was constructed by the same company who built the ballpark in Charlotte. It is also called BB&amp;T Ballpark. I liked the ballpark in WS even better than the one in Charlotte. It was absolutely gorgeous, and I think it was even better than some of the FL Spring Training stadiums. The fans were really into the game, and the concession choices were terrific. We purchased a BB&amp;T Park concessions staple, the Cheesy Pig Dog. Since its debut in 2016, it has become so popular that they sell t-shirts with an illustration of it in the Team Store.

I am currently in 4 deep dynasty baseball leagues, which is fun. Being a person who enjoys math, I\u2019m also really into the sabermetrics. I find it fascinating. When it comes to music, I am a big fan of Oasis and The Killers. You can find me on Twitter at @xwOBAiley.
