Play Ball!

Tara and John took their family to a Texas Rangers game and apparently had a blast. I love going to baseball games and especially enjoy listening to radio broadcasts of games. Debbie goes with me to OSU baseball home games as often as we can. We went to almost every game last year. Didn't make it to a single game this year.

There is a collegiate baseball team in McKinney. The McKinney Marshals The players are still in college but playing summer ball for the experience. In the past, some OSU and OU players have played in McKinney. Anyway, going to watch teams like this is alot cheaper than a Rangers game. Tara, we need to go watch these guys sometime this summer. They play June thru August. $4 for adults and kids under 5 are free.

The Marshals play in the Texas Collegiate League, which has teams in Kilgore (East Texas Pumpjacks), Coppell (Copperheads), Bryan near College Station (Brazos Valley Bombers), Victoria near San Antonio (Victoria Generals).

I can smell the fresh cut grass, hot dogs, and popcorn. mmmm.

On our way home Friday, I was telling John we need to check out the team in McKinney. It would be just as fun but a little easier to do than the Rangers games. I forgot it was a collegiate team. I was thinking it was a minor league team. Either way, it would be awesome!

I thought it was minor league team, too. I heard about the team last summer when I was trying to find out where some of the OSU players were playing during the summer. It would be fun and might be easier for Evie and Maggie to figure out what's going on, too.
