There was a genuine "celebrity" at the ballpark Thursday night: the "world's most famous cowboy" (monkey), Whiplash1. There was also a baseball game. Reno rallied back to beat the Las Vegas 51s, 8-7. I think I made some nice photos of each but was a little bummed Whip didn't perform pre-game (you know, when the light is bright).
