Opening Day

Hall of Fame pitcher Early Wynn, who played for the White Sox, once said, "An opener is not like any other game. There's that little extra excitement, a faster beating of the heart. You have that anxiety to get off to a good start, for yourself and for the team. You know that when you win the first one, you can't lose 'em all."

Cougar season has finally arrived! We play the Brown Stars at 9:00pm on field 2, which is the south diamond. We are the visiting team so we can get our second season off to a thrilling start without delay.I plan to get to the park just after 8:00pm to briefly scout the games. By 8:15, we can each take half a dozen quick swings before we hit darkness on the lower fields.

We are not rookies anymore. Let's use everything we learned from our first campaign. Play angry and no gifts!

Play Ball!
