June 2nd Information

Well Andy had about 5 days of rest after he returned home before his summer baseball started. As like last summer, he is in two leagues. The MABL (Mens Adult Baseball League), which by the way is a national organization with teams all over the country. The starting age is 18 with teams have age levels of 30, 40, 50, and 60 years of age. The league Andy is in has 10 teams and is made-up of ex-high school and college players. The second more competitive league he is in has 16 teams made-up mostly of ex-college and ex-minor league pro players. There are some ex-high school players as well. On average Andy plays from 3-5 games per week. The way Andy is talking, it looks like he will be playing baseball next summer in New York!!!! Where is yet to be determined. The last bird is getting ready to fly, just a few more worms!!! :)

This past Friday, we had Pat Locke over for dinner! He is doing an internship this summer in the Chicago area. We live approximately half way between where Pat is working and where he is living. Unfortunately for Pat, his daily commute by bus and train will be about 1-1/2 hours, one way!!! God lov'um. Pat will play some games with Andy's team when his schedule permits.

In addition to this, a certain "PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER" is coming to Chicago this weekend to play. None other than the University of Rochester's Pete McEneaney!! Andy, Pat and I are planning on going to the games that start this Friday night, June 6th. I don't know if Andy or Pat have contacted him yet, I hope not, I thought it would be a good surprise if we just showed up. And don't feel to sad about Pete's long bus ride trip, have you seen the ball park he plays at in Traverse City? Not to shabby!!

Well this should hopefully get us started with a follow-up to Ed's summer blog updates. Lets keep it going.
