one was going to be called for rain and was hoping to
make the pickup game down here... bad gamble on my
part.
Well, Chester did kind of deserve it, I suppose. They had a
stellar year. Still, I had hopes for our River Rats, the men
in black, who had been on a roll for the last few games.
Quinton, if anyone out there wants to start a team for
next year, join and existing team, or donate to the CRVBL
to help raise money for a taller backstop in Dummerston
or other projects, is there someone for them to get in
touch with?
Thanks to all the ballplayers, and especially to Quinton for
writing these games up. It was the professional writing
that got us interested in the first place, and going to some
games won us over.
See y'all next year!
