Yes, it is that time of year again. Opening Day will be on April 6, 2008, which comes in slightly early this year. In years passed, we have had an opening season party during which people have been able to catch up with their friends, sponsor a game and try to remember the faces of fellow players from the year before.
This year, because the season is starting only one month from now, we won’t be having the opening season party. Please plan to show up at 4pm [instead of 5pm] prior to the first game to stretch a bit, see old friends, put in $30 to claim your ball, have a pre-game beer and hit the ball a few times before someone yells “Play Ball!”
Hecksher Ball Fields – Field #5 – Located at around 64th Street on the west side of Central Park. For more detailed location info, hit: Central Park Baseball/Softball.
Contact Captains Terry or Andrew with any questions. Also check out “About the Cats & Dogs” which has lots of great fun FAQ’s.
Sunday Softball – New York v. Boston
This past week, my fiance, Reuben, indulged me by finding us a Sunday softball game here in Boston. I can say that it was really pleasant but it ain’t no Central Park. First off, there was only one field and instead of worrying about crashing into other players in the outfield, there was a pack of dogs (with owners of course) running around on the field. They play with strikeouts but seem pretty laid back about it all. I’m sure I’ll get used to the new game but can’t wait, and now highly covet, my Sunday’s at the Hecksher ballfields. I plan to be there on May 4th. See you all then.
And for all the Mad Dogs fans, I just posted this summer’s 2008 schedule of games.
Cheers,
Mimi
