What The Allmendinger Is Going On Here?

Yes, there is NASCAR news to get to, but legion baseball is first on the agenda.

Rutherford County Post 423 ended a the season in the first round of the legion playoffs this past week.

They lost after game four in a best of five series. In game one, Post 423 fell 10-3 on the road, then came back home and played maybe the best ball they had all season with a 5-3 victory. In game three, it was a cat and mouse type game, but Mint Hill prevailed 13-12 and the series ended the next night with a 13-9 loss. Post 423 (7-11), never really had a chance to gel this season after being forced to take a break by a new implemented rule of American Legion at the start of the campaign and inconsistent/young pitching took its toll as well.

This reality can produce a certain amount of guilt about vacation times.  For instance, let’s say you go to the beach, pick up a seashell, and put it up to your ear.  Do you hear the soothing tides of the ocean gently rolling in on the shore?

Outdoor Truths
I’ve got a few more bass fishing trip in store before I turn into a deer hunter. My friends love hunting season because they now have the lake to themselves. They’ll enjoy some of the best fishing of the year when the weather turns a little colder. As for me, I’ll trade a bent rod for a bent bow. But it’s not always been this way. My early adult years were spent almost exclusively fishing. I threw a worm in the spring and summer and a ‘Rat l Trap’ and Rooster Tail in the fall and winter.
