Third Night Of Being Out

Once again, I am on the road tonight as I am scheduled to be at a league meeting for the upcoming slo-pitch season. Generally, these meetings are pretty easy-going, and the guys and gals running the league are fantastic in their preparation for what may come during the season. In short, it's always a good time at these meetings as the other eleven team representatives get along fairly well despite the competitive nature of some. We don't usually have to worry about a Mr. Burns-type person stacking a team with MLB all-stars for this league, so the discussions are pretty tame with most of the league directors updating everyone from last season. Easy-peasy for a Wednesday eve.

Because of this get-together, my normal opportunities to watch hockey will be curtailed until later in the evening depending on what time the meeting adjourns. For those wondering, "Homer at the Bat" was the name of The Simpsons episode that first aired on February 20, 1992. Among the players chosen for the episode, pitched Roger Clemens, infielders Wade Boggs, Steve Sax, Ozzie Smith, Don Mattingly, catcher Mike Scioscia, and outfielders Ken Griffey Jr., Jose Canseco, and Darryl Strawberry all voiced themselves on the show. For those not aware, Homer Simpson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum on May 25, 2017 thanks to this episode.

Here is Terry Cashman singing "Talkin' Softball", a modified version of his song "Talkin' Baseball", for this memorable episode.

Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!
