Last night my son had his first baseball practice of the season.  The park district isn’t getting off to a very good start this year.  They told the coaches our age group could practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays at a certain park but they did no more scheduling than that.  Our team ended up practicing off in a corner of the outfield on one of the diamonds.  We were in a high spot of the park and the wind was blowing steadily the entire time.  I thought my ear was freezing off.  When we were leaving my son got into the car and said his hands were numb.  I really hope we don’t have any more practices where it is that cold again.
