Well, let me tell you ’bout them Dubois Bucks playin’ baseball. They some young fellas, runnin’ around and hittin’ that ball. I don’t know much ’bout fancy rules, but I know when them boys hit it far, that’s good, real good.
Saw on that… uh… thingamajig, the tee-vee, that they won some games. Beat them Barons, 7 to 3. Heard tell of a fella, Greenblat, pitched real good. Kept them Barons from hittin’ too much. And another fella, Weigle, he helped too. Good boys, them two.
Then there’s this Walters fella, he throws the ball too. Started a game, they said. Don’t know if he won or not, but they was playin’ hard, that’s for sure. These games, they play ‘em in the summer, I think. When it’s hot and the sun’s beatin’ down. Guess them boys don’t mind none.
They got this… whatchamacallit… live stream. On that inner-net thing. Some fella named Brandon, he talks ’bout the game while they playin’. I tried watchin’ it once, but all them fancy words, I couldn’t keep up. Just like watchin’ the game, seein’ them boys hit and run, that’s enough for me.
- They won a game 2 to nothin’! That Olinger fella, he came in at the end and made sure they won. Kept them other fellas from scorin’. Billotte, he got a hit and helped them get them two points. Said the Bucks was “hot.” Guess that means they was playin’ good.
- They play at Showers Field, in New Castle. Costs five dollars to get in, they said. For everybody, young and old. And you get to see two games! That’s a pretty good deal, if you ask me. Two games for five bucks, can’t beat that.
I seen some folks sharin’ videos of the games too. On them… uh… phone things. Little movies of the boys playin’. That’s nice, I guess. Folks can watch even if they can’t go to the game.
So, them Dubois Bucks, they playin’ baseball. They winnin’ some, losin’ some, I reckon. But they out there tryin’ hard, and that’s what matters. Just like plantin’ corn, you gotta work hard if you wanna get somethin’ good. And them boys, they workin’ hard, hittin’ that ball and runnin’ them bases. Good for them.
Heard they got a website too, but I ain’t got no use for that. Too much fancy stuff on there. I’ll just stick to hearin’ ‘bout the games from my neighbors, or maybe catchin’ a bit on the tee-vee when I can. Or maybe just sittin’ on the porch, listenin’ to the crickets and thinkin’ ‘bout them boys playin’ ball. That’s enough for this old lady.
Anyways, that’s all I know ’bout them Dubois Bucks. They play baseball, they win some games, and they got some fellas with funny names. Good luck to ‘em, I say. Hope they keep hittin’ that ball far and havin’ a good time doin’ it.
Summer baseball, that’s what it is. Folks get together, watch the young fellas play. It’s a good thing, somethin’ to do on them long summer evenin’s. Reminds me of when… well, that’s a story for another time. Just know them Bucks are out there, playin’ their hearts out, and that’s somethin’ to be proud of.
And that Brandon fella, he keeps talkin’ on that live stream. I heard him once, sayin’ somethin’ ‘bout an “RBI.” Don’t know what that is, but it sounded important. Guess it means somebody hit the ball good. Anyways, them Bucks, they keep hittin’ and runnin’ and that’s all that matters to me.
So if you get a chance, go see them DuBois Bucks play. Or watch ‘em on that tee-vee or that inner-net thing. They’re good boys, playin’ a good game. And that’s somethin’ to be happy about.
