Lots of clouds, but it never rained.
A week ago, Julie and I went to Wisconsin Rapids to visit our friends Robert and Rachel, see their new baby, and catch a Wisconsin Rapids Rafters baseball game. Small town baseball is pretty spectacular, as evidenced by the “Mini-Kiss” tribute concert being advertised on the Rafters site. It was “Irish night”, so there was green beer, and all the players had their names tweaked to sound Irish, mainly by adding an “O’” to the front of their last name.
Sack race to the mascot
In between every inning was some weird contest on the field that involved small children racing around the diamond, a sack race, spinning around and trying to catch the mascot, etc… The baseball was fun, and mixed with all the other stuff happening, including free food, it was an extremely enjoyable night. I even invented a new catchphrase to yell – “Rock the Diamond!”
I may have had a small amount of caffiene. Robert was amused.
