Another Father & Son made their debut at Honey Creek Field joining Russ and Avery.  Mike and Bill played on the same team...father a LHP/LHB and son RHP/RHB gave their team some match up flexibility.  Bill is holding up the 1 run their team scored and you have to give them both credit for smiling in spite of being on the short end of the score.   It was a record turnout for players as we had 8 total which worked out well with 4 on a team.  It will be the custom of the blog to always honor the home run hitters and other special achievements so it is with.....an abundance of modesty that I make the next entry:

July 30th - Next Game

The grass is cut and the field repaired!  New additions to Honey Creek Field this week!  It looks like we are in for a pretty big turnout on Tuesday.  Bring your A Game!

Honey Creek Field Announcement:

The Strike Zone has been lowered 1.5"

 

Tuesday, July 30th is the next game night.
Game Time:  6:30 PM
Weather:  Spectacular!

Who will evolve into "Legend" status at Honey Creek Field?  The first CG shutout?  Maybe a No Hitter?  Back to Back Home Runs?  Or, maybe someone will go deep from both sides of the plate (think me on this one, ha ha).

Only time will tell.  As we move toward the dog days of August and then to September there will be plenty of games scheduled at Honey Creek Field.  Players will welcome the cooler temperatures.  The winds may change from the Right Handed Batting favorable SW currents to more of a Northern breeze.  Left handed batters will welcome the jet stream out towards Dexter-Ann Arbor Road.

There are more ways to become a Legend, too.  Hit the rose and win a loaf of bread and be a legend....the double whammy prize.  Hit a car on Dexter-Ann Arbor Road and win a bakehouse pizza prepared and delivered to your house by Yours Truly.  So many ways.  So many players.  Legends in the waiting.

Here is the first photo taken of the field before anything was done.  HCF has come a long way since May 25th.  Lots more in the works.

If you have a 'wish list' post it here under comments.

Friday, July 12th

UPDATE:  Looks like we have 5-6 so far so Game is On for 6:30 PM.

This diagram shows the reduced field when you are playing 2 vs 2.  At Honey Creek Field we use similar dimensions that are marked by the United States flag in left field and the Scoreboard post in right field

Honey Creek Field Dimensions:

Left Field:  99'
Center Field:  120'
Right Field:  96'

Yes, you could say I gave myself (usually I bat left) a 3' foot edge from that side of the plate.  On the other hand the wind usually blows out to left so that may be the equalizer and then some.

Tuesday, July 9

Next Scheduled Game:  Tuesday, July 9 @ 6:30 PM

UPDATE:  5:30 PM  Raining Cats & Dogs.    Game cancelled.  side note....field drains great!
