Before Dive Master Richard came into the office with last weekend sporting a logo hat and waving a banner like a kid fresh from a carnival, I had no idea Maui even had a Pro Baseball Team. After he went on (and on) to explain how fun, energizing and exciting the afternoon had been, never mind how downright cheap it was, I began taking interest.
“And when this guy came sliding into home…the crowd went wild! I nearly spilled my nachos!” Richard gushed.
“What else do they serve?” I asked, poking around at my quinoa salad and grilled veggies. “Something better than that, I hope.”
“Chief, you have to stop eating that junk. It’s making you crabby. Go to the next game – Cool Cats caters. Plus, they have all the usual food for a ball game, dogs, nachos, ice cream and beer…”
I can always count on Richard to have the inside scoop.
Attend the game on August 31st, Pack the Park Night and get $2 off all tickets, $2 Hotdogs, $2 Sodas. Cheap seats are already only $6/pp so it’s possible to get a $4 ticket and $4 meal while having one heckuva good time at the old ball game and get change back from your hard earned $10.

Besides the pro level of play, great competition, fresh air and sunshine, there is also between inning promos and games just like in the big leagues. And most importantly, they serve Cool Cats burgers, ball park franks, beer and peanuts.
