From the land of the Bluenose....as I stepped on the field my shoes became emerged in a thick ooze of mud. This is what we had to play our year end ball tournament on. Lord love a duck this was going to be fun. Ending up in the cellar of the league we were relegated to the ":beerbuddy: section and still had our hands full. First game was against Oakmount Station Pub and was a good game at least till the end of the first inning! Man did we stink! Of course I lasted a clean soul till the third where I dove to my right for a line shot while playing first and ended up in the biggest mud puddle on the field. They mercy ruled us in 7 (15 runs ahead at the bottom of any inning after 7 and the game is over). With two and a half hours before our next game I went to a local beach, changed and went aquatic for a little swish to brush off some of the mud and relax before the next onslaught. Scoffed up a dinkie dinkie , a ring and a few coins and headed back to the field. Of course my team was doing what they do best.....drink beer!

Next game we fared a little better and made it to the 8th inning before the mercy rule took effect and once again I had a lot of time before our final game venturing to a school that was close by and rounded off the quota netting 90 coins @$14.47, a key, dinkie dinkie,kid's ring and a dewy with the words Polar Wear on it.

Final game of the day......um rather not go there but lets say it was a quick one and that, as Martha Steward would say And that is a good thing as Marie and I had to attend the annual awards , dinner and dance for my work where we sat with John and Marie Kingston. He by the way was the opposing pitcher in our first game of the day and a bouy I detect with.
