The Fall Permit

It's official: we're permitted every Sunday into November at Mary Dennison Field. (See link on right for updated Field Directions.) We will definitely play through October. We'll potentially play into November, as weather and attendance allow.

This week, Irene permitting, is the final 9am game. 10am games begin in September, for the rest of the season, to allow for the grass to become drier as we arrive.

Make the effort to arrive on time, signing in no later than 8:45 this week, and 9:45 after that. ("Make the effort" is polite for "do it!") Too many are habitually arriving too late to be equally split and still have games begin on time. This past week (eventually one of the best games of the year) there were about 9 guys at 8:40 waiting for the opposing team's bus to arrive. This delays the start and is especially unfair to those who arrived nearer 8am with the gear, who groom the field, lay bases, want BP, and to the managers who are trying to make evenly split teams so that we have a competitive game. And it then in turn delays the end, which is going to be more important as we make the Fall Time Shift the following week.
