Weather and fields look good for games of May 20 & 21.

Remember to keep a scorebook in case we have a game without a scorekeeper.

Also, remind the park personnel to open the scorer's booth and turn on the scoreboard.

Get your rosters emailed to Jim and I, and mail waiver forms to me, this week. Teams not complying will have wins recorded as ties for May and will forfeit games in June if these items aren't attended to by then.

OH what a glorious weekend for baseball. New teams, old teams, good weather, the humm of the ball and the ping of the bat.
