you are out of the loop my friend, the last 3 years have been terrible here. Last spring our first day on grass was the first game of the season...which was postponed by one full week.
I know last year was terrible. It was terrible everywhere in the northeast. I moved when my son graduated from high school. I live in Boston now. Last year was brutal.
Imagine being a high school coach who has to deal with playing in a public park. That's enough to deal with. Then imagine the town used the field as a dumping ground for a winter of 108 inches of snow. They had to find a new home field.
There were teams playing five or six games the last week of the season to finish their seasons. I only attended a couple of high school games. But I heard the quality of play the last week was brutal. Most high school teams don't have 8-10 quality pitchers.
