The Beginning of The Fall

Updated on Saturday, 1:22pm
Add Paul O. and Danny S. and the tally for Sunday is 21. Others expressing interest but not yet fully committing could have us near the ideal of 23! The Labor Day Sunday count is 18 ... and there are September callups are out there...

The moving vans have arrived at our Autumn home, as have the construction crews - only the first and last entrances to the parking area are open. It seems a little more lumpy than last we visited and there's grass on some basepaths, but ... there's no place like home.

The Shade Tree Rule:
One bench has shade, the other does not. Over 20 years, we've noticed that the Shade Tree team seemed to have an advantage, particularly in the later innings. The game will stop and the teams will switch benches if 1) The temperature is 76 degrees or higher (cuz, you know ... America) and, 2) The Shade Tree team is winning by 8 or more runs at the end of an inning, after the top of the fifth and through the 7th inning stretch, and 3) Someone calls it!
