South Side on the North Shore

It was South Side night on the North Shore.

For a few Cougars, our baseball careers began in South Holland and our field of dreams was Veterans Park. 

In 1985, five members of Cougar Nation were on the field together for the first time.

Can you find those Cougars in the team photo?  There are three Bobises, one Radtke, and one Otsuka.

• Diddy is in the front row second from the right.
• Li’l Rads is in the front row third from the left.
• Bobi is in the second row and is second from the right.
• Coach is in the back row second from the left.
• Jason is in the front row on the far left.

Last night in Wilmette, 34 years later, we had four of them on the field and one watching the live stream of the game.

Our game at Howard Park was a field of nightmares as the Cougars lost 10-1 to Old Neighborhood Grill. 

Three decades ago we all held our postgames at Tastee Freeze.  Today, the postgame is still the highlight of the night.

Jason, visiting from Australia, played with his brother Jeff and the Cougars again this year while Coach cheered his boys.  It was a Bobis night!

Our fans are always the greatest highlight of each night!
