The air is warming up, the sun is shining - PLAY BALL!
Take a step outside on this most AWESOME day in Arkansas – WOW! Yea, if ever there were a day to call in WELL, this one would have been IT! Needless to say, warmer weather reminds me of baseball and softball. Last year was the 1st year in 13 years we didn’t play baseball, or Christian didn’t that is…
I played softball when I was in high school for Cook Construction and let me just tell you, I was SOMETHING! No comments required from the peanut gallery, we all have our own opinions of something… And after I got married I was a coach for a local girls team. I so loved to play, the last time or one of the last times I played was the Saturday before I had Christian… He was born on a Thursday… Of course they put me in right field… I did get to bat, but I had a runner for me.
Christian played for 13 years, starting at the age of 3, yes, 3 with T-ball… Now, he’s getting ready to graduate and last year decided not to pursue playing legion or high school ball. I’m sure that I will have the opportunity to see one of my nephews play this year… And I’ll get to have some concession stand food… You know, the nachos with EVERYTHING, if you saw a heart doctor while eating them they would throw it in the trash… Popcorn, hot dogs, pickles… Oh, and the sunflower seeds…
Item #117 on my list – “Throw an opening pitch to a baseball or softball game.” Now I’m sure that I could talk to someone in White Hall about that, but I want to go bigger. What represents a baseball fan in Arkansas? Well, the Arkansas Travelers of course! (and to be fair to the U of A, yes, HOGBALL does represent me well too, but scheduling is tough with me being 3 hours away.) So, today I sent the Travelers an e-mail to see if they would help me achieve my dream. I’ll keep you updated.
If you wait, you WON’T – Play Ball! ;)
