Hello Braves,
Just a reminder about practice tomorrow (Thursday), for those of you chose to stay in sunny Whitefish Bay over the kids' spring break.
Practice will begin at 4:30 p.m. on the high-school softball field along Ardmore. We plan to finish at 6 p.m. Chris and I will be over there around 4 p.m. to stake claim to the field. If anyone wants to joins us at 4:00, I'll be glad to throw batting practice.
From now on, please have your Brave wear cup, sliding shorts, and baseball pants to practice. We will be starting to run the bases as we would in a close game. We also will be having the players face live pitching from kids instead of from coaches. All part of the strategy to gear up for the beginning of the season.
Meanwhile, if you go to the WhitefishBayNow site, you'll see that Braves photographer Jim Higgins has posted a photo of the guys who showed up at last week's chilly practice.
Also, be sure to reserve next Thursday (April 23) not only for our practice at Water Tower from 4 to 5:30 p.m., but for our pre-season pizza party at the Cahill Square warming house. Festivities will officially begin at 6 p.m., but I suspect that the doors will be open shortly after 5:30 p.m. This will be a low-cost way for Braves families to get to know each other before the season begins.
Many thanks to Karen Higgins for organizing this event, which will be held even if the practice is rained (or snowed) out. Whatever the weather outside, it will be warm and cozy inside the Cahill Square warming house.
In addition to Thursday's practice, we will practice Friday (4 to 5:30 p.m.) and Sunday (4 to 5:30 p.m.). Lots of baseball, but our season begins in 10 days and there's lots of work to do to get our guys ready.
Dave, Ross, Rick
