A chance to strut your stuff

I was honored to receive a call from the Railroaders front office and extended an invitation to throw out the first pitch this Friday at home against the Bulls. I got so choked up I had to drink some drano to clear my throat! I’ve also been allowed escort by a couple of the Railroaders’ Sweeties, as a man of my stature requires a little dressing up. I’ve been told to breakout my uniform for the occasion, so I’ll have to return the matador suit I purchased to confront the Bulls with. But I look forward to finally getting the opportunity to hit the field ready to play, or as close to it as I can.

For the time being, we need to confront and take 2 games from the Pirates tonight and tomorrow. The Greyhounds will be tangling with the Bulls in Sikeston at the same time. The Bulls come here on Thursday for our final 3 game, 3 night series before the playoffs. The Hounds will still be on the road and headed for Owensboro who are still in the hunt for a 1st or 2nd seed, as are the Pirates. Time to push for the finish line, no holding back or slowing down now. See you on Friday!

  1. This should be interesting. Given Hoghead's appearance, who knows what "Railroaders' Sweaties" will look like? Oh, well, let's hope for the best.

    Fan appreciation night should be a great occasion this weekend. The whole weekend will be good and the last chance to use those season tickets and see the Railroaders in regular season games.

    HOPE TO SEE YOU AT LOHAUS FIELD!
