Yeah. Make Sim our AD and get Smoke as our baseball coach.
Sim could/would probably do both. He's a workaholic.Originally Posted by glm47
Go Tech!
I was told last night that the outfield fence has been repainted along with the backstop.
Anybody have any recent pics of the baseball stadium?
The entire backstop wall, bricks and all, is now green. Sounds bad, but looks good. Great background for the infielders.
They haven't added any chairback seats yet. It looks like we could use a new "batters eye" screen in centerfield. It's torn up in places but still hanging on. I believe the kids that played in the Lincoln Little League tournament repainted the outfield fence and it looks great. The CHASE BANK sign on the outfield fence is so faded that I wonder if we lost their sponsorship?Maybe they would like to get their name on a new scoreboard. The visitors bullpen fence is only 3-4 foot high so they will still need a player to face home plate to protect the pitcher warming up...a six foot fence would have solved the problem.
Chairbacks should be added during December as long as it is still a go. The paint for the fence and backstop was donated I believe, as well as, the painter. If the Chase Bank sign is white with gray letters or something like that, it is NOT faded. That is actually how the sign was made last year. It was put up mid to late season last year.
It may not be Baum Stadium at George Cole Field, but it is a beautiful place for baseball. wish I could be playing!
