No Practice Wednesday; Game Thursday

Braves,
Today's practice is CANCELLED because (a) afternoon rain showers are likely and (b) most of the guys on the team have other commitments.
Be sure to be at Water Tower Thursday at 5:45 p.m. to get ready for our regular-season finale.
Dave

Game Day: Beautiful Day

Braves,
Looks like a great day for a ball game! Blue sky, moderate temps, a cooling breeze from the lake.
We will be playing when the sun is at its peak, so sunscreen might be a good idea for players and fans alike.
See you at Water Tower.
Dave

Brrrrr [Dress Warm for Today's Game]

The game-time forecast from the National Weather Service calls for a temp of 54 degrees with icy northeast winds under a lead-gray sky.
Players may wish to wear long-sleeved T-shirts or sweatshirts under their jerseys. Fans may wish to stay home and watch the game on TV.
Historical note: Last time the Braves played the Yankees in Wisconsin, it was the 1958 World Series. Let's have a different outcome today.
Players report at 12:15 p.m.!

Friday practice (April 24), Uniforms

Braves,
It was great to see everyone at the pizza party Thursday! The kids had a blast, and I enjoyed meeting and talking with the parents.
Bring a water bottle to today's practice; for 4 p.m. the National Weather Service predicts a temp of 83 degrees under a blazing sun.
Friday's practice will begin at 4 p.m. at the softball field on the east side of the high-school campus. Chris and I will be there by 3:45 p.m. if anyone wants to show up for some pre-practice hitting.
Practice will end at 5:15 p.m. because a bunch of the Braves are going to Miller Park for the minor-league game that begins at 7 p.m.
(You may not need much water for Saturday's game. As of 7 a.m. today, the NWS forecast called for thunderstorms (70% chance) and a game-time temp of 56 degrees.)

Here are the Miller Park transportation plans:
Dave Pritchard takes Chris, Connor, and Evan.
Stuart Blacher takes Jason, Matt, and Liam.
Ross Harmsen takes Tyler and Tyler's younger brother.

We will be heading to Miller Park directly from practice. Kids should bring:

• Money ($10 for their ticket, plus whatever you're comfortable having them spend on concessions)
• A change of clothes if they don't want to wear their cleats, baseball pants, sliding shorts, and cup to the game. I think they'll be able to change in the bathroom in the high-school gym.
  
• A sweatshirt or jacket, because it may be chilly at the game and during the post-game trek back to the vehicles.

If anyone else would like to go to the game Friday, please let me know ASAP.
Thanks (especially to party planner Karen Higgins),
Dave

UNIFORMS UPDATE
Uniforms have arrived!
We hope to have them delivered to our practice Friday. Uniforms of guys who won't be at practice will be delivered direct to their homes.

Weather note for Thurs April 23 practice

Braves,
Dress warm for today's practice! The wind chill at Water Tower on days like today is nothing to be trifled with.
