Hurry Up and Wait

Anyone associated with outdoor athletics who hails from the northeast region of the country knows that the weather is NOT something you can control. The American Defenders have fallen victim to the weather and have had to postpone opening day due to rain. After all of the preparations, on the field and off it, everyone will have to wait one more day to see this great experiment as our general manager has called it. This of course is the worst nightmare of the front office people, having the game cancelled. They have arranged for all sorts of pre-game festivities including a one inning T-ball game, a visit from the mayor and the Governor among various and sundry displays of patriotism. Although I have not heard, I assume that these festivities will be carried out at some point during this first weekend home stand. I just hope they don't last as long and are executed more smoothly than the Memorial Day ceremonies. So tomorrow we will do it all over again and with some cooperation from mother nature, we will be able to get the season started.
