And this game saw the return of Hall of Famer Skip Treece; after more than a year off . Seeing him roam CF and dash down the first base line made my day. I know its been a long road back and the team and the league welcome you. Jreel
There were so many surprises at this game....First Skippy, Dee and Alana showed up....it was so nice seeing all of them....then Annie (Mike Cleary's better half) showed up with little Schamus (not sure of the spelling:)) and hall of famer Tom Maneys other (better) half showed up....so it was quite a ballgame....skip running the bases, gets on first, steals second! It was just so nice seeing everyone!
