The Midsummer Classic

For as long as I can remember we have gathered at Great Uncle Gene Ray Edds’ home to watch the Major League Baseball All Star Game. I haven’t attended every year, but I’ve seen the majority of them. This year Pa and Granny had plans, so it was just Sandy, the boys and me joining Gene Ray and Great Aunt Gay Nell. Wearing our St. Louis Cardinal’s caps, we did our part to support the National League, who has suffered a 13-game losing streak to the American League in as many years. The boys behaved very well for 5 scoreless innings as the league’s top pitchers battled. Just as bedtime approached and we prepared to leave, the action picked up, and the National League triumphed 3-1, breaking their winless streak.
