Legion Finally Gets a Break

I don't think I've seen baseball players in high school quite as tired as the looks in the eyes of the senior American Legion team after last night's game, their sixth in as many nights. Most of them look like sleep is about the last thing they have been able to find for nearly a week.

Scheduling and weather dictated the rescheduling of games to this past week, and I know that baseball players at other levels play nearly every day. It makes you respect just how much energy it takes to work in the baseball industry every day, whether as a player, coach, announcer or just as a fan getting there every night.

Stanly County is 6-5 and in fourth place in the division, getting five days off from ball games at just the right moment.
