CARPERS,
Due to overwhelming demand we are set to open up our 2021 season marking the 30 or 40 somethingth straight year that CARP baseball will be played. To that we owe deep gratitude to our founding fathers who occupy a special place up on Mount Rushmore. Though they may not play anymore it is upon their great shoulders that we whack dingers, run from right field to back up our wide throws to 1st base, and enjoy our drinks pre, during, and post game, much to the chagrin of some stalwarts.
As with anything in our league, the only constant is change. Whether it is personnel, location, or leadership, it is something we have become accustomed to and in order to survive we must continue to adapt.
This year that means changing fields, and also, at times, changing our holy day from Thursday to Friday.
Please see below for the schedule going forward at the new location of Swansea Junior Public School's Northwest Diamond. The good news is that it actually has an infield and adequate local parking (near the tennis courts/skating rink).
For logistics, Benji has the equipment. Please coordinate with him if he can make it to the first game, also get in touch with Jackie baby, not sure if he was on this email list.
We don't actually have the permit for this coming Thursday due to issues with the permit office but going forward it will be official.
Though I won't be there in person I will be there in spirit. Don't let the sun go down on CARP baseball. I've done what I can, the rest is up to you, for everything else, I'll tell you what I told John when he passed these duties on to me...'can't Nelson do it?'
Please reply to all in these emails so everyone knows what is going on and invite your friends...just nobody too handsy.
