McNab/Braeside tourney thoughts
Some thoughts and observations from the McNab tournament this past weekend.
- Good job by Harold MacMillan and his volunteers on running the tourney. Nice to have three lit diamonds in one spot, even though we only used two. $3 for a beer, $1 for a hotdog and $2 for a hamburger - pretty good deals. Most exciting to some on WC Electric was that cheese was considered a condiment for the burgers - no extra charge!
- It was a weird day on Saturday - humid, then rain, humid then rain, etc. but we managed to stay mostly on time.
- It was good to see lots of old former area ball players out to watch. Some included John Storie, Barry Storie, Duane "Woody" Cameron, Larry Lavallee, Paul Sauve, and Pat Ryan.
- There was some discussion about the possible revival of the Upper Ottawa Valley Fastball League for 2008. Possible entries included Shawville (Snappers team from the RA), a Micksburg entry, Fort Colounge (with a veteran lefty tapping his toe) and a team playing out of the McNab diamonds. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but it would be nice to have another league.
