I have gear. I picked up some sno-pitch balls today (spongy, won't hurt anyone, made for the weather)

Also have some bats that I will donate to the cause (as in your team can have them afterwards). Will bring out a strike mat, but for bases, I think I will just bring out some pizza boxes as our regular bases won't like the snow!

Edit, any extra gloves would be handy though for those that don't have one.

I'll wait for fotze or Firefly to comment, I just wanted to bring it to attention.

Hopefully I can make it on Saturday. Then we can figure out some more logistics.

CSSC is a waste of money. It's expensive compared to other leagues and you get very little of it. You play on some of the worst diamonds on the city (that clearly get no maintenance) and none of them have fences.

Might still have some small bases (flat) from the CSSC days a decade ago. Will venture into the garage tomorrow to look.

ps Troutman, I'll pick you up at 1130!

I like the pizza boxes idea myself. Especially in snow. Slide into second base, and end up in left field, but still on the base.

Depending on what time I make it back into town and if someone has a left handed glove, I can probably make it.
