Durham Bulls: Things you don’t see every day
Playoffs. Had you been dropped into the DBAP by helicopter this weekend from, say, Saskatchewan, you would have had a hard time recognizing that you were watching a playoff series. The crowds were sparse, and the energy — on the field and in the stands — was sluggish and somnolent. Unbeknownst, apparently, to most of the Triangle, the Durham Bulls are now just a handful of wins away from claiming the Governor’s Cup, which goes each year to the champion of the AAA International League (the Bulls won it in 2002 and 2003). Entire sections of the DBAP were unoccupied on Saturday and Sunday, and I counted just sixteen people in the entire Diamond View section on both nights combined.
