Local businesses, organizations and officials. We're planning on Detroit v. Madison.

Hey this is starting right now!

The day has turned out to be lovely. Head on down to Kauffman Park. Who will win, Detroit or Madison? See you down there.

Here's a photo gallery with quite a few ball making near contact with bats. BTW, Madison killed Detroit. They should have implemented the mercy rule. LOL

Alex, Thank you for spending the afternoon with us and documenting some of the action!

If anyone captured images of Cleveland Bike Polo on the courts or promises being made at the Because I Said I Would promise wall along the third base line, please post.

Sorry Meg - I was thinking of covering the bike polo, but "she who must be obeyed" demanded my presence. LOL

I've got a few that I'll post soon. Good ones of the bike polo were hard to capture with the phone camera, but I've got some, and a few more of Sokol Aerial Circus.

Some real good ones of the softball game, Alex.
