What a disappointment! At 11:00am, my son Spencer and I had just left the Babe Ruth field after dropping off some of the last team raffle tickets, and the sun was out, it was nice and warm, and the fields looked in very playable condition. If there was ever a day to play baseball...yesterday was it!
I think the League president had his tail between his legs yesterday after his early cancellation of opening day games. He even took some good ribbing from the comedians last night. One comedian said "Oh, Jeff, look, up in the sky...over there, it's a small little cloud".
Oh, well...what can you do. As someone said yesterday, if he didn't cancel it early, the day would have been a complete rain-out. Even the weathermen/women had to eat crow.
So, our next 1st game of the season is tomorrow night, Monday, April 14th. The first pitch is at 6:30 p.m. on the Lower field. Please let's have all the players at the field by 5:30 p.m. so we can jog, stretch, run and throw before taking infield/outfield practice at 6:00 p.m. We are the home team and will be in the 1st base dug-out. Our opponent is the other Lunenburg D2 team, so it should be a good rivalry game for our season opener.
In honor of Comedy Night last night, I'll leave you with a joke. " This rookie pitcher, with a big head, was starting the game for the home team, and in the 1st inning he proceeded to walk the first 5 batters he faced. The manager of the club went out to the mound and took him out of the game for another pitcher. The rookie walked back to the dug-out and said to his teammates, "Can you believe this guy. He took me out of the game just when I was working on a no-hitter"".
