(8) How sad will we be if/or when the Houston Babies finally lose their first game of 2012?

Answer:

Thank you, Patrick Lopez, for accurately depicting with your art what we Houston Babies are hoping we can avoid in this wonderful vintage base ball season of 2012. So far, so good, in spite of two close calls last Saturday from some excellent competition.

Remember too: Our next opportunity to play comes up on the 4th of July at George Ranch, if enough people are willing to commit to playing on the big mid-summer holiday. So far, only seven people have signaled Manager Bob Dorrill that they will be there. The “magnificent seven” commitments are from Bob Stevens, Jimmy Disch, Robby Martin, Phil (8 for 8) Holland, Bill Hale, Jo Hale, and Larry Joe Miggins. We also have a couple of “maybes” from Chris Hale and Scott Disch. Hopefully those two lukewarms will heat up and be joined by at least three other fiery commitments to the Babies on the 4th. We’ve gotta have 12, folks. There’s no riddle to that one. We just won’t play with less.

We must have 12 players for two games in that weather. Since Bob Dorrill will be out of town, I’m going to step in for him on an interim basis, but I’m going to draw a line on 12 as the minimum number of commitments I will accept before we sign up to play. Vintage ball is great, but you can’t take on the heat and the game without numbers in this part of the world.

(9) So, riddle number nine has a “2B” decided answer for now: Are the Houston Babies fired up enough to commit to the 4th of July?’

Answer: We’ll see.

(10) One final riddle for today: How many of you have remembered that tomorrow is Mother’s Day?

Answer: If you are among those who forgot, get with the program, folks. And do something special for those special moms in your life.

Have a nice weekend, everybody!
