the Detroit Tigers broke their six game losing streak with a big win (10-4)
against our friendly northern neighbors, the Toronto Blue Jays
at a very, very hot summer game
we had to walk around a lot
just to feel a slight breeze
drink some cool beverages
eat some cool ice cream
share a bit of shade
with our fellow fans
but in the end
there was that hot win!

We have a similar (non professional) game here called ‘Rounders’. I did play that at school when I was young. I was never much good at hitting a ball with a narrow stick though. 😊

Your Tigers have been hot! But every team goes through a moment when they’re not then they are again. Glad you were able to get out to the park and enjoy the game.

Just went to a game two weeks ago in Sacramento with a buddy. The A’s lost their lease in Oakland and are playing in Sacramento for the next couple of years before moving to Las Vegas. They are not the Oakland A’s, the Sacramento A’s, or the Las Vegas A’s. They are just the A’s for now.

The weather has been unbearable this week. I read it’s a record 5th heat wave in a single summer for us. Congrats to your team! The Blue Jays have been on fire for us this summer and people have been excited for their chances (last won the Series over 30 years ago).
