It’s Almost Time
Today is February 27th. It's not the time of year one traditionally thinks about baseball. However, the local high schools and college teams are firing up the activity on the diamond. The Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne University played a double-header at home today. In the above photo, Lenoir-Rhyne RHP Ben Goldston fires to the plate against Seton Hill during the first game of the day.
I'm ready for Minor League Baseball to invade Hickory once again. The Crawdads begin what I consider to be a cruddy home game schedule on Friday, April 16, against the Kannapolis Intimidators. The 'Dads first AND last 8 games of the season are on the road. The 4th of July game is also on the road this year. In my opinion, that's a cruddy schedule, but we don't get to pick and choose. It happens this way sometimes. No matter how we slice and dice the home/road schedule, there are still 70 games at home between the first part of April and the end of August.
Maybe I'll see you at the ball park...
