  • Coppage plays in East/West Games

    The reigning Miss Softball, Ashley Coppage, didn’t have the spectacular performance that she hoped to have last weekend in the annual East/West All Star series.  
    Her East senior team won two of three games defeating both junior squads and losing in a 10-inning game to the West seniors on an over throw at home with a rain slick ball 3-2.  
    The three nine-inning games played in two days was a difficult situation for the East seniors as they had only one pitcher due to some players having other commitments.

  • Is baseball becoming a rich fans sport?

    Since I returned from my Florida baseball trip on Sunday I have been doing some thinking about (and adding up expenses) the amount of time and money that we invested in this trip.
    We are not rich, not even close, and I wonder now how we could ever do something like this again.  
    Before I get into the trip though I want to make a comment that might hack a few people off, but here goes.  
    When I was driving up West Pleasant Street on my way home I thought I was back in Miami.

  • Phones are nice for proof of insurance, but keep your card, too

    On June 25 a stack of new laws will take effect while others are groundwork for future changes.
