Batting a Thousand
How Does This Strike You?
The World Series will soon begin for baseball enthusiasts. As a child it seemed we always traveled to visit my grandparents out of town during the pennant races. I still have fond memories of my grandfather sitting in his recliner cheering his New York Yankees to victory. And to this day I always reflect back to those times when the World Series begins.
But if you're living in Raytown, MO you can get ahead of the game in your baseball pursuits.

Post a CommentThanks for the great article:) The leagues are up and running here, too:)
Sounds great Lee. I am having problems with the links at the end of my articles ever since AC did their maintenance Monday and Tuesday. This happened last time too.
My favorite sport and I played softball too.
I miss the games, but my oldest granddaughter started school this year so I will be back on the bleachers again:0)
Great reporting....baseball is a great sport that gives fans and players great stories to tell Laura Everly
I'm not an avid baseball fan but I do like to occasionally attend a live baseball game~It's better than watching it on tv in my opinion~
I just went to a Reds game last weekend. It was fun.
My son had played organized baseball for 14 years.. We love going to his games!!
Good stuff!
Sounds good.
