Weekend Wind, Wind & More Wind

As a hitters dad I hope the wind is blowing out !!!!

Sounds like Lancaster, CA where the new Boston Red Sox affiliate has their high A team ... they call it the launch pad for a reason, wind everyday starting at 3 and taking everything over the right field fence.

The wind chill factor is what scares me ... brrrr

FBM, we lived in Lancaster for 3 years....first place I ever saw trees growing side ways......yes, there is a lot of wind.....but a great baseball town.....
