Mini Family Vacation - Vintage Baseball

Vintage Baseball from the battlefields of Gettysburg.   I have to say we had the best time at this tournament perhaps it was the pixie sticks, or Kathleen's cat-calls, or that Shawshank and Rooster had a good time - but it was much fun.  
The Blues needed an extra player and since Dust was in tow we picked him up a uniform from my friend Rich so he could play with the Blues.  The guys saw his red hair and and immediately decided to call him Rooster.  This of course led us to start Cock-a-doodle doing ever time he went up to bat - which is quite hilarious and Shawshank downloaded him a theme song "Here Comes the Rooster"  lol.  Both Shawshank and Rooster played well even after Rooster struggled with hitting his first few times at bat (Mighty Casey story anyone).  Shawshank really got excited to play slide rules and we loved all his mad sliding action.  Anyhow the guys lost 3 and won 1 game but they played hard and had fun.  We were proud to be fans - gallant effort Blues!
Oh and this post would be remiss if I did not mention the bonnet babes the best cranks in the field - Kathleen and Lo - these two were quite the hoot in their matching bonnets and Kathleen even gave a player from the Brooklyn team a new nickname - dirty pirate.  We also have new terminology to use as well like "stir those stumps" and "put a little ginger in it". 
Huzzah Huzzah!
