Tonight we were scheduled to play our exhibition game against Stirling Ave. When Dave Frey called me at 5 pm, we could hardly hear because of the rain and thunder. Of course, it calmed down shortly thereafter. And, all games in our league must be called at the diamond, so please show up even if it is raining. Last year had two nights with similar weather, both against Stirling Ave (see http://firstslopitch.blogspot.com/2009/08/storm-passed-over-slo-pitch.html and http://firstslopitch.blogspot.com/2009/05/when-rain-comes-down-on-slo-pitch.html). I wouldn't plan a picnic for July 20 or August 17 this year, if I were you.
We had the seven yellow shirts (and one fan with an umbrella) that I was expecting, and eventually seven Stirling Silvers slipped in. With rain falling off and on, we ended up with a cooperative batting/fielding practice, and a game of scrub.
Next week we play Tuesday, May 11 at 9 pm, visitors vs Waterloo-Kitchener. Please reply if you didn't tell me at the game. I am expecting Cal J, Cam J, Peter J, me, Nathan M, Mark P. That is 6, so we need some more!
Fees: The league fees have stayed the same, so our team fees will, too. $50 for a full season (10 games or more plus playoffs), $35 for a half season (6-9 games plus playoffs) or $5 per game. If you don't yet have a yellow t-shirt, those are only $10. Cheques can be made out to Scott Albrecht. Please pay in May.
