There's so much to love about West Michigan Whitecaps games! Their fun menu, $2 beers and hot dogs on Thrifty Thursdays, and oh yeah, watching our Whitecaps play too!
Well fans at Fifth Third Ballpark on Tuesday had more to watch than the game -- A Michigan man broke a world record with 934 push-ups while wearing a 40-pound backpack, MLive reports.
Want to be a successful minor league baseball team? You'd better be ready to combine one part Babe Ruth and one part PT Barnum. The Grand Rapids based West Michigan Whitecaps do that better than just about any team - like the one time when an elephant threw out the first pitch.
There's no doubt about it, Grand Rapids is an awesome city. We've got lots of attractions and fun things always going on, we're a family friendly city and appeal to the younger crowd as well. Grand Rapids has A LOT to offer so no wonder why we make so many "best of" lists...
ESPN said it "might be the best baseball mascot race we've ever seen".
The Whitecaps called the takedown a "Griffins-worthy check".
See for yourself.
All good things come to an end, and for the Caps tonight was that ending point. A long rain delay and a fast start from the visiting Ft. Wayne TinCaps ended the West Michigan season at Fifth Third ballpark Friday night 6-2.
