The New Sam Gibbs Field

Heeding the sage advice of this blogger, the Oakwood School District repaved the blacktop at E.D. Smith Elementary School.  And today 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, TEN wifflers showed up for the first ever game at Sam Gibbs Field. I took a video, but apparently the high Quality of my new phone makes it too big to upload to Blogger. Sigh.

[Grrrr]

It was a morning of historic firsts, of course.  That murderers row of batters you see lined up waiting would have seen in the video waiting for the first pitch won the game 22-10.  SABRmetric analysis: There was a lot of hitting.
