One sure sign of Spring is the start of a new season of professional baseball. I was present at the Phillies Home Opener at Citizens Bank Park down at the sports complex in South Philadelphia. It was a very festive occasion highlighted by a block party next to the stadium complete with a ferris wheel, a band on stage and lots of freebies.
Hatfield Quality Meats is a proud supplier of all the hot dogs served in the ballpark and was in attendance at the pre-game activities. Handing out free samples in front of their van was 4th generation family member Steve "Rabbit" Clemens who greeted me warmly. We have known each other for longer than his 37 years with the company.
HQM has always been a class act, a supportive force in the community and I was impressed with their promotional van. I also enjoyed their sense of humor with the lettering on the door of their vehicle:
Too bad the Phillies lost.
