in class C looks like my hometown of Richmond is now done. there are a few other local teams going at it yet!!!

[glenn57]

well the springers of cold spring did it!!!!!!!!!! took 2 games yesterday but they  came home with the championship in class B. there 8th.

A few weeks ago I ran into a guy who plays in this league.  I really didn't know such a thing existed.

[glenn57]

deadeye.........the stearns county league, Richmond, farming st martin, lake henry usually rates way up there in attendance every year, so yea the area I live is big into small town amateur baseball.

the big knock, or should I say resentment in the area is that most of the best area players end up playing for the cold spring springers. most these players go to college and play college ball and there coaches tell them to play with the springers because of there class B status. they play more games and tougher teams. and this pisses the smaller towns off!

the auld pharts did it again won the 35 and over state title. 4th time in 6 years. now the class B team needs to do it again!!!!!!

several area class C teams already got the boot.

[glenn57]

results are in. the hometown class B SPRINGERS WON THERE SECOND CONSECUTIVE AMEATUR BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[glenn57]

anyone follow the state tourney that's currently going on and will wrap up labor day weekend?? being played it Watkins and 2 blocks from my house. hopefully can get time to take in a few games. both the class B team and over 35 team are in trying to defend there titles 2 years running!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, I have not followed it....But we have been watching the little league world series.

[glenn57]

its pretty hard to even follow it in the newspaper, st could times, 15 miles east of here has very sketchy coverage at best.

[glenn57]

it sure was nice to go to a good ole amutuer, town ball baseball game last nite. got there in the 9th inning of the first game played. dundas was down by 3 to st micheal. watched dundas win it scoring 5 runs in the inning.

hometown cold spring springers successfully embarked on there defense of the 2 time state championship by beating a team from Duluth in 7 innings by a score of 10 zip!!!!!!

Had to do a search for this one. It sure has been a wired summer do far living 3 blocks from the town baseball park and not hearing baseball being played.

There was a great weekly show on that last year.  Did different shows on different Town Teams.  Wonderful show.  Told the history of each team and some of the people involved in keeping it going.  Think is was on FSN.  Definitely a fun watch.

Here in cold spring they play couple nites a week sometimes and both weekend days. When it gets playoff time it's more.

They dumped FSN on our fish last year. Still pizzes me off.

That's right.  They showed the Townball thing since FSN and MLB weren't getting along.  SO how did they throw FSN on your fish?
