    As the saying goes, it’s not how you start, but how you finish. On June 8, the 9-10-year-old Reds held a slim one-game lead over the Cubs. With just two games left on the schedule for each team, it was coming down to the wire.

    As fate would have it, the Reds and Cubs finished the season tied for first place. It all came down to a single winner-take-all playoff game for the 9-10-year-old baseball title as the two teams met last Wednesday for the championship.

    Why so serious?

    If you’re going to spend as much time as I do at ball fields, it helps to have a good sense of humor. Otherwise, you would go completely bonkers and wind up in a padded cell.

    The summer games

     One of my favorite parts of summer is getting outdoors, doing some grilling, and most of all, enjoying my favorite summer activities.

    One way to stay in shape or get some exercise is to simply toss a frisbee around a state park or setting up the lawn darts in the back yard.

    What? Did he say lawn darts? Yes, I miss lawn darts!
