It was a beautiful day for baseball at Butler. I have thought that a senior citizen admission at IS was one best bargains in D1 athletics. But free admission at Butler was even better. Their marketing program even supplied free pizza. What a concept. It's too bad that no one has ever considered something like athletics and marketing working together, in any capacity, at ISU. It was encouraging to note that the Sycamore supporters out did the Bulldog crowd both in number and in cheering. I'm here to tell you that a couple of friends (play by play), a positive attitude, a nice day and a good team to support makes a day like this hard to beat for an old, vision impaired guy. I'm looking forward to pounding pee-ewe Tuesday in the Haute.
