It’s Mother’s Day and admission is free for all Moms. And
for anyone sharing apple pie or Chevrolets.
Great to see all of the returning veterans and I’m impressed by, and appreciative of, the rookies this year
who’ve jumped right in and run drills and gotten BP going! And it's been some fun baseball, too!
Just the usual annual two nags: tardiness and non-payment of
dues. And again, it ain’t the rookies!
For 9:30 games, signing in at 9:16 IS late. Managers have
been trying to make equally competitive teams for a while and are expected to
be wrapped up by 9:20.
On the other end, the Babe Ruth League permit technically
begins at 12pm. They are typically very gracious in allowing us to play out an
inning or so past noon.
But a First Pitch at 9:45 because about 7 of the 20 players
arrive after 9:15 causes problems and simply, is unfair to the players who have already been
there for 45 minutes and hauled gear, raked the field and put down bases. Even
if you don’t want to stretch or initiate BP, be fair to them and be there to
get the game underway on time.
And those who have played in the first tow games but not yet paid in, you've hit the sub-par, mushy balls, and that is the reason why.
But we finally have some of our usual ROML balls. The best balls on the market but for MLB balls. Bring Mom, the money you may owe. First Pitch is at 9:30 and we'll be off the field by 12:30.
