If you give me a choice between covering a 5K in 95 degree weather for three hours or a baseball game in perfect weather for an hour and a half, I'm taking the race every time.
And that includes high school season, little league, connie mack, legion, amateur, e.t.c.
Though, I do think there's a special section in heck just for legion. God does legion blow ass.
I was at my first Legion game of the year last night. Two-plus hours for a team that has one kid from my town, and the team is 0-9, I believe. That one kid grounded out pinch hitting to end the game. sigh.
So if you have one kid on the team, can't you find something else to put in the paper...that's a complete waste of time.
That's the Patch way.
heh, Zing! And as Stitch alludes to, 95 percent of the team overlaps for another Patch site. So, while it probably won't ever get much readership on my site, on the other one it'll do fairly well, since 10 of the 11 kids are in the other town. I didn't have any other assignment for a Tuesday night, so it was either cover the Legion game or stay home.
The other issue is that my pickings this time of year are real slim. There is a charity bike race this weekend, some 5ks here and there, and Little League all-stars later in the month, but otherwise, not much of anything, outside of profiles of returning college athletes.
