SAINT ANGER: Two notes I forgot to mention from my St. Paul Saints experience of one week ago. One, throwing out the first pitch prior to the game was Pearl Jam's Mike McCready, as the game began about 90 minutes prior to the start of a concert by Vedder and Co. at nearby XCel Energy Center.
And also, the day after the game we attended was a promotion sponsored by a Minneapolis-based outfit known as The Old Fart Baked Bean Company. Yes, it does exist.
