Columbus Clippers lose
Well, I am regretfully back from the Columbus Clippers game. What a beautiful day! The Clippers pulled out a loss but made it interesting with a rally in the ninth. Drew Henson played well a couple of hits and some nice glove work. It was interesting though to see Henson in a “Buckeye’s” uniform. Why was he in a Buckeye uniform? Well, the Clippers are celebrating their 110th anniversary (I think) by wearing a different classic jersey each month. This month it is the Columbus Buckeyes. So Henson was wearing a “Buckeyes” uniform today.
What made the afternon interesting was we played “mound ball.” Here is how we played: everybody put in a buck; and everybody drew a number to determine what order we would follow; then at the end of the inning if the person returning the ball to the pitcher mound put the ball on the mound (defined by being on the dirt and not touching any grass) the person who was “up” would win the pot; if not then it would role to the next guy. After that every body would put in another buck and it would continue to roll. Well we got down to the 8th inning and I won! Makes a slow game a lot more interesting.
Good day all around.
