Hot time on the Old Baseball Field

http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/CHXX0457_f.html

Hot there? Check out the heat index! So of course it was the day for our Championship Baseball game. Today we actually inforced rules so we needed a umpire and since I have no other athletic skills and an honest face, I claimed that coveted position. It was even too hot to wear a hat but I needed heat protection. Might be a first for the Umpire to Carry a Parasol...another Baseball Fashion Breakthrough.

Game highlight was a runner headed for 2nd and being chased by some kind of fielder with the ball. To get back to first without being tagged she raced into the "stands" around the pitcher and zigzagged the infield with the ball carrier in hot pursuit. (Both, of course, in high heels.) I called it Safe at First just for ingenuity!
