With no Twins game scheduled, the Casual Sports Fan and his Casually Observing Wife headed to Essig last night to watch a baseball game live. A couple of young friends were playing for the Stark team and this was our chance to see them in action.
This was one of the junior leagues. None of these kids are major stars in high school yet, but from what we saw, a couple of them will be in the near future. Stark ended up winning 6-2, and one of our friends scored twice.
It was a good night for baseball, even if it did feel like October by the time the night was over.
With $2 hotdogs and $1 popcorn, most of the fans had a great time even if the local team did end up losing. Seeing the train go by twice during the game gave it that authentic rural Minnesota feel. Minnesota and baseball. It's two great things that go great together. We really should do this more often.
