This past Wednesday the baseball squad squared off versus the minor league edition of the Chicago Cubs at historic Jackie Robinson Ballpark. The night kicked off at 4:30 when the new owner of Red Tails (and an Embry-Riddle grad to boot), Hank Foley unveiled the new look of the bar on Beach Street. It's nice, too. The new look Red Tails has a touch of class and the bar looks like it should have been used on set of the famously filthy mouthed HBO series Deadwood. The upstairs is particularly striking with it's dark walls and white accents and the long mahogany bar. Foley scores extra points for sticking to decor that appeals to him (making the place original instead of same old dirty Daytona) with old aircraft photography and memorabilia adorning the walls.
The game didn't necessarily pan out as well as us Eagle fans had hoped, but it's tough when your opponent only throws 25 pitches in their half of the inning and you need to get all three outs. None-the-less it was a great night (even through the early April chill) at a great park.
