It begins
with hope. Hope is found in Opening Day, springtime and sunshine.
It ends
with memories. Memories of our triumphs and defeats but more importantly
the friendships that are created and strengthened.
In
between we play the games and celebrate, win or lose.
Last
night, we competed and completed our season.
The
semifinal game pitted winners of the last three league championships. The
Cougars were facing the back to back league champ Miller Time.
The
Cougars' dominant defense and perfect pitching held our opponent to their
lowest offensive output this season. Sadly, they held us to our lowest
total as well.
Although
the results can't be changed, the loss is not permanent.
The poet
Donald Hall has said: “Baseball, because of its continuity over the space of
America and the time of America, is a place where memory gathers.”
In the
spring, we will gather at Howard Park at the intersection of 17th and Spencer.
It is
also known as Memory Lane. We hope to see you there!
