Notes:

It is a smaller field. So we will have to "punish" the big hitters somehow if they can easily hit the ball out of the park. I suggest making one of the kids run for them, or batting with the opposite hand.

Who can bring some Lawn Games (Croquet, Bocce etc)?.

Adam will bring ~10 of Rick's uniforms for the forgetful.

Possibly a Home-Run Derby at a specified time on the neighbouring (#1 / Major) diamond (it has a longer fence line)

Adam will wheel over a BBQ, and coolers for water+pop (No alcohol)

We are open to suggestions!

Can Darlana re-speak her speech to us again? Adam contacted MikeMcCambridge without response :(
