    How can you not be romantic about baseball? In Royalton, 43-year old Derek Owen returns from a 10+year retirement to play with his son Eli for St. Mathias. What does he do in his 1st AB? He Homers on a 2-0 pitch! Derek ends up 3-3 with 2 walks and 3 rbi in the Devils 3-2 win!

    They say you get 1 chance to make a 1st impression. @MilroyYankees you should be awful proud of the way you put things together and stepped up as host. Well organized, going over and above, friendly, efficient, great facility and did I mention FRIENDLY? Can’t wait to come back!

    Prior to the Championship game between the @BuckmanGoats & the @nisswalightning, I wanted to ensure there would be a lasting memory of the day that two Region 8 teams played for the title. So I approached both dugouts & arranged a group photo with both teams. This is that photo.

    It was the end of an era today in Avon when the great Tim Pratt worked the final game of his illustrious 35 year career! Umpiring at almost every level of baseball, by Tim's own estimate, he worked 4,200+games! Enjoy retirement Tim & Thanks from all of Central Minnesota!

    Do you know who I REALLY admire? Every drafted player that showed up at @NPShakJor2018 for his team and never threw a single pitch, whether it was for just a 1st round game or whether they were along for the ride all the way to Labor Day. #respect

    How was YOUR Sunday? I bet it wasn't as good as Dan Marod's of the @SobieskiSkis ! Dan hit 2 Hr's with 5 rbi in the Skis 13-1 win over the Pierz @LastrupLakers & THEN he took his girlfriend of 4 years, Riley Johnson, to Musinger Gardens in St. Cloud and popped the question!

    I created this because sometimes instead of searching through brackets to find games going on at the same time at the various sites, it allows me to see the full day at each site. Sites are color coded & 1st round C games have the "winner plays" to the right in the site color.

    They are called the Avon "Lakers" for a reason. Please contact @RickHendy24 for swimming lessons. @AvonLakers

    Many of you were there that day, many were tuned in and listening to me. July 23rd, 2005 in a Victory League East Playoff game in Lastrup between the @LastrupLakers and @BrewersPierz....Today is the 15th Anniversary of the Greatest Game in Minnesota Amateur Baseball history!!

    One of the most vastly underrated things in sports that most people don’t realize is what a sacred place a baseball dugout is. Each has its own pulse, it’s own vibe, it’s own energy. Each one is unique and beautiful in its own way.
