Let’s play ball with our friends at ! ⚾️

"The Historic Bricktown District is a place for many things. Bricktown is where I work, eat, listen to live music, relax, grab a drink or two, and, dare I say, go partying (salsa dancing, to be precise). Baseball, however, was something outside of my [Bricktown] ballpark. Taylor Bond, a Water Taxi co-worker, tagged along to my first baseball game." – Excerpt from The Wheelhouse blog post titled “Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark” by Pablo Angulo-Gonzalez

Join Water Taxi photographer/writer Pablo Angulo-Gonzalez and Water Taxi Ambassador Taylor Bond as they dive into the excitement of America's favorite pastime at the Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark's $2 Tuesday!

You can attend Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark's next $2 Tuesday game next week, tomorrow, Tuesday, May 18th, at 7:05 p.m., when the Oklahoma City Dodgers take on the El Paso Chihuahuas.
