Baseball anyone?

There are two sports that our little town gets pretty excited about. One is high school football. The stands are always full and the town talk is high. Whether they win or lose the diehards come out and then strategize on what should happen at the next game. You can hear the chatter everywhere. We're just a little place. I often wonder what those games in big "football" states like Texas must be like. Then what do the locals say down at the Co-op afterward?

The other sport is baseball. So many of youth get way into the game. We have great fields for the kids to play on. Our baseball organization had taken a rough looking area and turned the diamonds into an A class facility. Teams from all over East Idaho come to play in tournaments here now. Our season starts the beginning of May. The ball fields are always wet and the players wear hoodies under their uniforms. The month of May in school is murderous. Don't try to teach, unless you can incorporate baseball into it, because all the students have baseball on the brain. Now seven weeks later the season is ending. Today my daughter had a tournament. All season the weather has been freezing cold. Now that tournament has started it was ninety degrees. We played two games starting at 1:00. Everyone is sunburnt and hot. But that is one of the joys of East Idaho. The weather will always keep you hopping. The result of these two games is that we will have at least two more. They won both of them. Their little team, that may have won 2 games all year, just beat two really good teams. I guess their coach has them peaking at the right time.
