I’m not sure there is much better than seeing your kid chase a dream and then get to live it out at the same place where I lived mine. Here’s to 4 years of hard work alongside people who will become your lifelong best friends that will hopefully culminate in a dawgpile!

I spent the spring coaching my daughters' HS softball team, easily one of my favorite coaching experiences but the field situation was frustrating. This is a great read and Riko's petition is worth signing, so please consider.

Six of the city's Metro League softball teams play on dirt infields that get unplayable when it rains, causing cancellations and rescheduling. Lincoln High junior Riko Hibino decided to do something to change that, going public in asking for turf fields. seattletimes.com/sports/high…

Seattle has a softball field problem. Here are the challenges to fixing it

While many baseball and soccer fields around the city are turfed and less impacted by the weather, many of the softball field are dirt and are unplayable in the rain.

UPDATED: One week later and now the Top-3 New Releases for Sports History are about Seattle sports! Shaun Scott's book looks fantastic based on the excerpt published in the Seattle Times and it's remarkable that Boys in the Boat continues to sell ten years later!
Kevin Ticen@kticen11 Dec 2023
No big deal...two Seattle sports books are currently #1 and #2 for Sports History new releases on Amazon! Boys in the Boat is one of my favorite all-time books and the Metropolitans' story is equally as inspiring a generation before...we truly live in a special city!

Highlights from the new chapters include the Mets' experience through the military draft, the Spanish Flu finally hitting Seattle during the 1918 Puyallup Fair, a shocking incarceration, and Game Four of the 1919 Stanley Cup Final -- that generation's greatest game!
