Yesterday was 9/11/12 and many memories of 11 years ago. A friend Ron Berler and myself attended a Bridgeport Bluefish baseball game. The Bluefish got down four zip in the first but came back and scored 11 runs to win 11 to 4. The night was a beautiful night for baseball. The league is an independent league with a mixture of players old and young. Some players were former major leaguers but most were college or low minor league players. The one thing that was very noticeable was the lack of hustle by many players after hitting a ground ball. Most of the players simply trotted to first with very little effort if they thought they were going to be out. "There is always some kid who may be seeing me for the first or last time, I owe him my best."
