Record-setting

We’ve not had a rainout since Memorial Day 2014. But with a deluge at 4am (which will keep 6 players from getting out of bed, so we'd never hit 18), a band of rain likely coming through in the next couple of hours, then a possibility of more rain by the late innings of our game, the streak is over. And so is our spring schedule, with 9am games beginning next week.

Last 2 Weeks of Spring Schedule

Through May, gear arrives at 8:30am, with all signed in by 9:15am to get underway at 9:30am. Come June, and for the three summer months, it's a 9am First Pitch.

:00 - :05     Gear arrives at the field.

:05 - :25     Groom the field, stake the bases, warm up.

:30 - :50     Manager’s split the teams.

:45             Sign-in deadline.

:50 - 57      BP ends, announcements, split onto benches, home team takes the field.

:00             First Pitch.

Opening Day 2015

At long last, the bunting is hung for our 18th-ish Opening Day. That it coincides with Mother’s Day is unfortunate but we’ll be off the field by 12:30pm. Optimism abounds, with the farm system producing a good group of rookies to join the veterans (some long-lost.) We’ve certainly never started this late. And it’ll be hot one. Bring some fluids, grab the med kit’s sunscreen ... and play ball!

We've Been Permitted!

The last 2 weeks of May are unusual, but we're otherwise at our usual summer home. This Sunday, we'll dig into the dirt and leave the rust behind. Throw off the mound, take (reasonably) unlimited BP, try and remember how to catch a fly ball...

Gear arrives at 9am, with all arriving by 9:15am - the time to be signed in for games in May.

Opening Day will be next week, May 10. Prepare Mom now. All Moms are invited to come and toss out the first pitch. We could serenade them with "Take Me Out To The Ballgame". But let her know that you'll be getting the exercise that she wants you to get. Until the Babe Ruth League season is over in June, we're off the field no later than 12:30pm. You'll lavish her soon after!

Details will be emailed later on Saturday. If you're not getting emails, get in touch!
