On Friday night at 5:30 PM the Bees played the final game of the regular season. It was actually a make up game from May, against InterAction (IAC), that was rained out. We nearly forfeited since being the home team, we were required to furnish the bases, and we forgot to bring them. I was planning to leave at 5:30 since I could not get time off. Around 5:10 PM a teammate called me in my office from the field in Central Park on her cell phone telling me that they need the bases. I went and retrieved them from another floor and then a few minutes later our coach called me on my cell phone for the same reason and while I am talking to her the main reception desk called me on my office phone to tell me to call our coach. Since I had the speaker phone with the receptionist, the coach heard what was said and I was talking to her and repeating what the receptionist was saying. Finally I told the receptionist that I was talking to the coach and would meet her in the lobby at 5:30 with the missing equipment. A car service was called to take us to Central Park’s North Meadow and we got there with the stuff and it was “Play Ball”. We eventually won by a score of 12-7 and made the playoffs. I did not play or even keep score this time, but did serve as a “bullpen catcher” to warm up our pitchers. When it was over we took a cab to Brother Jimmy’s at 3rd & 92nd for some Southern grub and beer. I eventually got home at around 11:35 and then hit the computer.
Over the past several days I had been taking pictures of the various Statues on Parade that were placed around New York City I downloaded the various pictures on www.photobucket.com and have been trying to create some web-pages of the photos and to commemorate the All Star game. I made one so far, using the former Softball 2008 page. The address for that site is: http://softball2008.zoomshare.com/0.html. Over the next several days I will try to make a page on Homestead or Yahoo Geocities (maybe both).
