Let me start off by saying this year's Can Am game exceeded all of my expectations!
I expected the sunshine, a beautiful softball field, a great softball rivalry, some funny shenanigans, the smell of burgers and dogs, patriotic music, jazzed up fans on both sides!
What exceeded my expectations was a fantastic comeback by our friends from the North! The determination of the workers at the Grill to support our event, the American softball team acapella singers, all of the USA fans pouring into right field to bolster our defense against Keith Szautner, to no avail as he put it out of the park anyways. Lets not forget the water balloons either during team photos!
Thank you to the photographers!
Thank you to the Grill crew!
Thank you to the game announcer Rob McKay and scorekeeper Wally Carl!
Thank you to the umpires Barb Parobec and Stan Huntrods!
Thank you patriotic fans on both sides that decorated and celebrated in joyous fashion
Finally a big thank you to my family - Ginny, Andy & Theresa! Most of the hilarious activity before, during and after the game was result of their creative minds, wonderful senses of humor and endless pursuit of fun!
