What could be better than baseball, fireworks and Archie Griffin?

That was the headline on an email I was forwarded from a friend and fellow Ohio State alum, Beth Watkins, last week. The email is promoting the OSU Alumni Association's annual member appreciation day at an Ohio State baseball game. I guess I should rejoin the alumni association so I can get emails like this in the future.

The game they picked is Friday, April 4 against Minnesota. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. and Archie Griffin, the only two-time winner of the Heisman Memorial Trophy and current president and CEO of the Ohio State Alumni Association, will throw out the first pitch.

Ohio State Alumni Association members can purchase tickets online for just $2.50 each (price includes processing fee) through I was asked not to include that information since the email was sent to current members of the alumni association.

They say anyone who buys a ticket can enjoy these highlights:
Come early and meet Archie Griffin before the game.
The first 200 fans will receive commemorative T-shirts celebrating 125 years of Ohio State baseball.
Game-day entertainment includes '80s Flashback Friday music and fireworks after the game.

Archie offered a write-up on Steve Arlin's selection into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in this month's Archie's Insights.
