The Blues Baseball is a wonderful diversion in San Luis Obispo. Part of the California Collegiate League the players are all college athletes. We were very pleased to be with a crowd of a about 800, and some good baseball. The Blues are in the top 20 this year of over 240 teams. The BBQ is good, the beer and wine is good, the alcohol prices are cut in half for the rest of the inning every time the Blues score. There is stadium seating and lawn seating. Both are good. There are lots of families and it is delightful to see the children running about. Bring some friend, bring the family and have a
