It was a dress rehearsal, if you will. New jerseys, new hats, same cup all in play. We were at the fields and ready to play. Unfortunately the Mrs. Nature got the better of us and we didn’t play. It was good to start the year off with a short night of sodas, however.
Ready for Week #2, games 1 and 2.
Simply put, there are not many emails that are more exciting than the one received last evening.
The subject was: 2009 Summer softball league
The message read: Good Evening Skyline FRC ball players: We are scheduled to play Men’s D/E Recreational Wednesday nights, starting on April 29: 12-weeks of double header fun! As of today, there are 63 days until “balm.”
This is one of my two favorite emails every year. The other is when the annual trip to Las Vegas is booked.
For the SFRC there really is no “offseason” per se, rather six months where no official games are played. During this six month period (which began a couple of weeks ago) the FRC of S gather regularly to run hills, work on fundamentals and most importantly watch film. We have found nothing is more important to the success of the new season than watch film. Where to play guys in the field, studying the pitcher’s release, which outfielders have accurate arms, etc.
Worth noting: October and early November has been filled with “Mrs. H” days. The Burnsville Park and Rec should start a “Winter League” that plays for six weeks in October and November. The FRC could delay their offseason routine to participate.
We look forward to April, 2009.
We will be having a BBQ after our last games on July 23, 2008, per the norm. Updates and items assigned to bring will be posted on the BBQ page at the top of this website.
All friends, family, former players, current / former employees are invited to watch world class D/E Recreational League softball at Neill Park in Burnsville and then join us for some food and drinks after the games.
Come at 6pm and grab one of the few seats that will likely be available to watch some of the best softball you will ever witness, or, come at 8pm and hangout with food, drinks and FRC softball players.
