    Woah!  Sounds like there was a lot of damage to the WSLL fields and facilities.

    Think our WSLL friends are leveraging the moment…those are standard field readiness activities! Still a great volunteer and community service opportunity.

    Those vandals grew weeds in my yard, driveway and sidewalk, too!

Sorry, comment time is over.
