I can only hope to look this good when I’m 85!

Calfee Park in Pulaski dates back to 1935 and while she shows signs of being in her ninth decade of use, its in all the right places. Over the past 20 years the park has underwent numerous upgrades and the mixture of old and new is worth the price of admission.

Congratulations to Jay Neal and the Strasburg Express ! Champs 🏆

Shortly before the clock struck 10pm the Strasburg Express closed out the Waynesboro Generals 4-0 to complete a Perfect 6-0 run through the 2021 Valley Baseball ⚾️ League playoffs.

A tip of the ole ball cap to Jay Neal and the entire Express family on a job well done!

Now Batting 31st (of 31):South County High

Earlier in the Trek Around the Dominion I was able to catch up with the South County Braves when they were playing in Alexandria against Cal Ripken Collegiate League rival Aces. The tour officially ended a few minutes ago when the Ball Coach and I toured the grounds where the Stallions call home during the High School season.

The Braves have shifted their home base more than once in recent years but now appear in a stable relationship inside the grounds at the Fairfax County campus.

33 Teams that play in 31 ball parks across the Commonwealth have been visited in the past 30 Days (34 & 32 if you include the Princeton WhistlePigs, which I do) and now it’s time to pour through pages and pages of notes. There will be NO rankings of the parks/fields/stadiums in any way shape or manner but instead something positive about each experience.

Day 28 is now in the books 📚! and how does one celebrate the accomplishment ? By heading back to the new digs where the Fredericksburg Nats call home !

First pitch is set for 7:05pm

Much more to follow…..
