Colby is playing in the World Series in Flower Mound. I just received the tournament schedule and HOLY MOLY! There 60 teams in Colby's division. I'm not sure how many games they are guaranteed; I think it is at least a 5 game guarantee. They have 3 games of pool play to determine their place in the tournament bracket. Starting tonight, they have a scrimmage. Tomorrow is the Team Registration. Saturday, there is batting practice and then the Opening Ceremony parade and trading pin event. Sunday, the games begin. As of right now he plays on Sunday at noon. On Monday, he plays at noon and at 8pm, so it looks like I am just taking Monday off. I'm not about to come in to work for a few hours. It just isn't worth it with the way gas prices are. Wednesday - Saturday games are yet to be determined b/c the pool play will determine the bracket placing for Wednesday. Glad that I have a flexible job! Jason cannot take off of work b/c he hasn't accumlated any time off yet. So, our next 7 days are consumed with baseball. Not to mention, we have a rehearsal dinner and wedding on Friday and Saturday. Looks like I'm going to have to get creative with scheduling and calling up my brother to see if he can help out, if need be. What REALLY sucks - there is a $10 gate fee per person per day for the tournament! I can buy a gate pass at registration for $35, but if you buy it thereafter...it is $40/person or $10/person (daily). Luckily, Tristen is free, so we won't have to pay for him. Thus the life of what we could expect for Select Baseball.
Colby and one of his good friends, Hunter.
