Only 40 days left, as of this posting, until the smell of hotdogs and hamburgers cooking at “The Yard” (Lohaus Field). Of course I assume nachos, popcorn, candy and drinks will be there also. Oh yea . . , and baseball too! Ah yes, the crack of the bat, that sweet sound that aluminum just can’t make. I can hardly wait to get out of the engine's cab and back under the grandstand for some baseball action.
On a more serious note, I’ve learned there’s an opening on the Railroaders 2008 roster for 2008. Not sure if manger Estes wants me or not, but I’ve hired an agent this year who’s working hard on trying to sign me with the club. So far, the owners haven’t returned his calls. Can’t say I blame them, my required signing bonus may just be too much for them. Also, from the looks of the current roster that Estes has put together, they may not need me, but I’ll be standing by just in case. I know Mom and Dad would love to see me play.
My parents were proud of the Railroaders and me last year. They have become big fans of the team. And send their best wishes along with a picture to help inspire the players to great victories in 2008. With some luck, and I mean a lot of it, maybe they’ll get paroled in time to attend one of the playoff games! In any case, I’m sure they will continue to support the team in any manner they can, they do have a few outside connections.

ReplyDeleteThe countdown is almost to 30 days, when the first pitch is thrown it will be full steam ahead!! We are going to miss all those fired up guys from last year and we wish them luck in their summer leagues they go to, If you have been keeping up with their college happenings they are doing quiet well! Looking at the RR roster this season,lots of new faces and names to learn and I know we will be so prowd of them as well, the excitement will fill the air at Lohause,so dont miss out on any of this years action!
ReplyDeleteGood to see your family Hoghead,by the way I am looking for a date to the games this season, do you have a sister? I know if the DNA is the same she has gotta be a hottie!!
