Jamestown Jammers
Baseball is Grape!

MiLB affiliate of the Florida Marlins in the New York-Penn League.


 

Thursday, July 6th, 2006 - A beautiful summer day for a road trip in Western New York, sunny, light breeze, no humidity and in the 70's.  The travel from Steelton neighborhood to Chautauqua County is a nice country drive down the I-90W thruway, Route 60 south, to Buffalo Street and then Falconer Street.  The 63 mile cruise takes a little more than an hour.   You can pick up tickets at Diethrick Park in Jamestown.  The pictures below are from a family visit to see former KU legend Don Czyz.  It was a great outing that made everyone happy.  Hope you enjoy the story as much as we had doing it.  It's always great to be with family and get timely cell phone reports from relatives too.  Check out the related links below also:
