Just Like Alaska

Now I know what it feels like to play in the Alaskan Summer League.
Had an old guy's baseball game today. We play every Sunday except for Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day and July 4th weekend. Why we don't play on July 4th weekend, I don't know. I guess guys would rather have cookouts with their stupid families instead of playing ball. I digress.
Today's game started at 9 a.m. Game time temperature? 37 freaking degrees. 37! Also, the field we played at, D'Evelyn High School in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, always has windy conditions. Gusty winds. Plus, the field is always in terrible condition. The infield is rough and the grass choppy. Just a bad surface.
Anyway, I'm in a salty mood since we lost to the Mustangs 13-12 when they scored 5 in the last inning to win. Just a real crappy loss (see April 28, 2010 post).
At least I got a hit off a former Major League pitcher Brian Fisher, who pitched for the Yankees and Pirates. The base hit knocked in a run. This proves my theory. I should have been in the big leagues after college instead of slumming around radio stations after college. The scouts blew it big time!
Oh well. Get 'em next time. And when we do play again I hope it's warmer in two weeks than 37 damn degrees.
Time to head into the radio station for our Sunday night show. Tune in to 710 KNUS or listen online at www.710knus.com. Thanks. Later.
