While we wait for this game to begin, I hope you will enjoy this video of “We Gotta Get Out of This Place” from my You Tube Channel!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICFXX8cI-nk

In this game, even though we are on Dansville’s baseball field, the Aggies will be the “visiting team” and bat first, while Laingsburg will be the “home team.” Sometimes, it does not take much to confuse your Aging Bleacher Denizen, but I will persevere and try to understand the game!

It is now time to review the events of this game through the occasionally observant eyes of an Aging Bleacher Denizen who was not able to get his baseball career off to a good start. It seems he had much difficulty using a bat to hit thrown baseballs. He requested a special dispensation that would allow him twelve strikes per at bat, but the baseball powers that be refused to allow it. Thus, your Bleacher Denizen spent more time watching his teammates than actually playing.
