Nice weather, huh? I was really looking forward to playing a little slob-ball this weekend...especially the annual Q104 Ballbusters/ELEMSdale Werecoons friendly match at the ELEMSdale Legion.

The first year we had the game on a beautiful, early fall afternoon, and last year's took place on easily the most hellishly hot day of the year. Either way, it's a great time, and we raise money for a fine cause...the Easter Seals 24-hour Relay for the Abilities Foundation. Barry, the folks at the Legion, and everybody else involved in Elmsdale does a top-notch job in putting everything together, and they always make us feel welcome.

In the first game, two years ago, I homered on the second pitch of the game...that's the picture at the top of the page. I realize it's pretty impressive, until you catch on to the fact that the pitcher, and a couple of the other Werecoons are wearing dresses. Nice look if you can pull it off, though.

Unfortunately, for this weekend, construction on the new ELEMSdale Legion Mega-Dome wasn't completed in time for this year's game, so we'll have to re-schedule. Hopefully soon.

I usually play on Sunday mornings, too for my other team, Team XXXtreme. Last week, we swept our doubleheader for our first two wins of the year. I think there was a bottom-screen crawl announcing the victories on 'Mass For Shut-ins', if you caught it.
