my first season as a springwater dirtbag ended this past weekend. i never thought i could enjoy playing softball, but i have to admit, i had a blast! i felt like a kid every sunday this summer and i can't wait for next spring. through all my years of playing baseball, i don't think i ever had a more consistent fan base at EVERY game. the dirtbag nation is definitely a prosperous nation. cheers to a great season full of good times on the field and great fans in the bleachers!
i recently heard a story about a major league baseball player from the late 1800's. accused of having a drinking problem, the owner of his team hired pinkerton detectives to follow him around town. the night before a game, detectives found him in a bar around 3am drinking a lemonade. when confronted about this, he defended himself declaring, "it was straight whiskey! i've never drank a lemonade at that hour in my life!" he died at the age of 40 from consumption.
