It is worthwhile pointing out how much our guests appreciated our doing this. In a telephone conversation, one of the widows said, "I'm just praying for sunshine." And, she meant it!
The ladies attending the ceremony were:
John Miller, Buba Pickering's 22-year-old grandson threw out the first pitch as well as played an inning or two with us. What makes this special is that he was using Buba's glove and wearing the uniform which Buba wore twenty years ago in the inaugural year of Etobicoke Slo-Pitch - "The Purple Precinct". To Anne Colhoun, Barb Wade, and the members of "The 20 Year Club", this, no doubt, brought back many memories.
10:15 AM (approximately): Let the games begin! Each team played two games. Winners of the "Memorial Cup": White Team.
1:30 PM: Lunch buffet at "The Grille".
On behalf of the league, thanks so much to each and every one of you for participating and making it a special occasion for all our guests.
