Tuesday Night Wiffle Ball this week!

Tuesday, July 2

Guests:  Rick & Tim
Home:  Dylan & Steve

That's right, Dylan and I rallied for 9 runs in the bottom of the last inning to tie it at 9-9.  Honey Creek Field had it's first home run as I crushed a Rick slider that was in my 'happy zone' into the seats in right centerfield.  No laughing here....it was a dream come true.  Rick had the most acrobatic catch in left field, Tim probably had the best batting average, and Dylan proved he covers a lot of ground on defense while not dropping any fly balls hit his way.  We had a GREAT time!

Coming Soon!!!

June 18th - The first practice

Here we go....68 F.....wind blowing left to right....beautiful night for wiffle ball and the first informal practice that features Susana Arias digging in at the plate.  She is ready to take the guy on the mound downtown if she gets her pitch.  

Ed.....goes to the wind up...leg kick.....

and the pitch....Ed Arias lets it fly.  It's his fastball high and tight....with movement....

Susana swings....connects....it's high enough.....it's deep enough.....it's gone!

Ann's buddah flag...happy in the breeze

Next on the list....the scoreboard and the Honey Creek Field Sign.  

June 14th - The Equipment

It was a big day for Honey Creek Field.  The grass was cut to a very short 1" height for the first time.  Thank you, Bill P.!!  Kicked it up several notches.  This evening I purchased the wiffle bats, balls, home plate, bases, and a pitchers mound.  They go in tomorrow.  Photo's of it all will be up soon.  8 days to Opening Day!

June 9, 2013

The grass is cut and the field is taking shape.  Excitement is brewing in the community as more and more wiffle ball players....aka....racquetball players who are playing the second favorite sport and now discovering that wiffle ball will be thriving soon at Honey Creek Field. .......

June 7

Lots of work done on the field this week with a huge thanks to Claire.  Here is an update:

• The American Flag had too much tension with the wind so it will not be a part of the outfield.  The Flag was too big for the capacity of the 3/4" metal pipe supports.
• I'm currently shopping for flags and banners that will replace the flag.  Not a problem as there is some great stuff out there.  Meanwhile, Ann's Buddha flag hangs happily on one of the supports.  Thank you, Ann!
• All the Juniper trees have been planted.  Ten trees ranging in ht. from 1' to 5'!
• All the pole supports have been planted and anchored.  They will accommodate the scoreboard and the Sign with the name of the field.  
• We picked up an amazing art piece in Grand Haven that is now in right center field.  Pictures soon!
• The mound and bases are prepped and next week we will add fill dirt and sand.
• June 22 is the date for the Grand Opening with pizza from the bakehouse.  Tentative start time is 5:00 PM.
• June 23 is the rain date.
