Weather Wonderland

by @ 9:56 am. Filed under Andrew Hess, West Michigan White Caps - June 2008

Playing baseball in a cold Michigan spring is about as fun as playing baseball in a scorching Florida summer. On the flip side, baseball is much more enjoyable in the winter and spring in the south along with the summer months in the north. However, this year has seemed to be slightly different in that we have seen some of the most strange weather patterns outside of the movie “The Day After Tomorrow.” We didn’t see a day in the sixties for the first month including a series played in a snowstorm, and then went straight to seventy for a week and then back down until the first part of June. Only one thought comes into my mind, “What the hell?” More recently we have had torrential rain no matter where we go. Our pitching staff has gone through a merry-go-round more than an ADD seven-year old. Sadly, baseball is the one sport which requires perfect weather to play. Football fans call us what you will (and I don’t even want to hear anything from soccer people), but rules are rules. So without the cooperation of mother nature we just have to sit back and gets runs and outs whenever possible. We were two outs away from a W last night and that when the electricity show decided to start and thus ended up getting postponed for the night. I guess this is the one thing people in Minnesota have done right; they have figured out that all outdoor sports in the north should be played in a dome.

    Haha – I hope that isn’t a slam on the great state of Minnesota!
