Last night, we went to Allentown, Pa. to watch a game of the minor league Iron Pigs. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, "Pig iron is a crude form of cast iron poured from the blast furnace." Anyway, it's a clever name for the team in that former industrial town. Their mascots are "Ferrous" and "FeFe."
It was a 90-minute drive (all on highways w/no traffic), and that area of Pa., just over the Jersey border, is a neat place to visit.
I had to try the only real specialty they had in the ballpark: the "Big Porker" sandwich, with shredded pork on a roll. They also had pork on nachos, which didn't draw me.
We enjoyed the fireworks after.
