Take Me Out To The Ball Game

As the sun went down the crisp chilled air picked up. A night of celebration and new beginnings were upon us. Depending on your calender Christmas had come 12 months early or was delayed by 6 weeks. The eager anticipation of unwrapping the new present had arrived. And it arrived in the form of a new $30 million baseball stadium dubbed the "New" Alex Box. Gone are the old grandstand, the tight quarters, and the Intimidater. Enter a new 9,000 seat facility for the Purple and Gold faithful to start their quest for a conference title and maybe a return trip to College Baseball's Mecca with a national championship in their sights. The scribes are ready to start a new lore in the school's baseball history.
As for the Raggedy, we had other plans. When 30 extra large is dropped and talk of being at the upgraded Box is all anyone is talking about then time is cleared in the newscast and we must fill it. Simple actually. Get the truck in position, make sure everything works, and putting the talent in front of the camera to show everyone at home what their missing. The joy of seeing the first pitch. The first strikeout. The first time some sent one over the fences. And now matter how cold it was this was the place to be if you were a baseball die hard. Mission accomplished. There are going to be some stories to tell from this place.
Looks like they have gotten off to a chilly start.
