Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Springdale's getting its baseball stadium.
By 17 votes, Springdale voters approved selling bonds to build a minor league baseball stadium Tuesday.
The measure, backed by a Chamber of Commerce campaign called "A Grand Slam for Springdale," squeaked by while additional propositions for bonds to finance a road program passed easily,
No official word on which team they'll be getting, but word is that it will be the Wichita Wranglers. Which would make sense given they're a farm team for the Royals.....owned by that one guy.
Whatever. I'm just looking forward to seeing some good games again. Major League lost me when they pulled that strike B.S. and cancelled the World Series. And since my kids are grown, I don't get to watch Little League anymore either. Though I'm starting to teach WildChild the basics. When he can remember to swing level and keep his eye on the ball, he hits a mean line drive. And he's already learned the most important part of playing:
'Hey batter batter batter batter....SWING!'
