A quiet Friday and a relatively lazy Sunday provided the perfect bookends for a busy Saturday. At the ballpark the gates opened at 11:30 for the second annual Battle Of The Unions. On-field activity began straight up at High Noon, as it did in 2022 the day featured a round-robin softball tournament with the city police, firefighters and municipal workers. The president of the municipal workers union is the man who organized the event, he had contacted me to work the mic in '22 and I was more than willing to be back on this day for the second go-round. The day was a fundraiser for the local homelessness coalition, close to $4000 was raised for the cause. A good number of vendors were present with many offering the chance to win door prizes and there was live music outside the ballpark and in the food court area for most of the day. The firefighters won the championship over the police in the inaugural event, this time it was the other way around as the police took home the trophy with a win over the firefighters. We were finished around 5:15 or so and by all accounts everybody went home happy. Jenny and I had lunch on Sunday since we had missed out the day before, there really isn't much difference between the two and it's always good to get out of the house on a Sunday. Take care, thanks for reading.
