Get out and play HARDBALL!!
~Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal of baseball is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four markers called bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or diamond. Players on one team (the batting team) take turns hitting against the pitcher on the other team (the fielding team), which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and hope to score on a teammate's hit. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team gets three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning; nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.
...That's it! Make it FUN!!
ALWAYS Remember Fletch:
Saddened from the passing away of 34 yr old, LV Rattlers Player, Todd Fletcher, Monday, Feb. 10, 2009, due to a brief illness. He was born in San Antonio, and resided in Las Vegas for 18 years. Todd is survived by his mother and stepfather, Renni and Dean Whitman of Las Vegas; father and stepmother, Fred and Patty Fletcher of San Antonio; brother, David Fletcher and wife, Melinira, of Las Vegas; two half-brothers, Sean and Bryan; one stepbrother, Aaron; three stepsisters, Teri, Denise and Wendy; grandmother, Sheryl Williamson of Canton, Texas; and great-grandmother, Shiela Whitman. Todd was an avid athlete, a member of the local Teamsters and worked for Johnson Brothers' Wine Distributors. Rest in peace, "Fletch"...although you're in a better place now, we miss you.
Harry Wade... We haven't forgotten you either, pal!
