[Sportsandrec] Beep Baseball Question and Joe's Lunch...

[Jennifer Boylan]

 Ashley reminds me that most of the people we get out to play us or increase
our numbers to split in half for skrimmages are from the players' families
and friends.  Children often are the most willing to jump in and give it a
try, and are often more athletic and challenging than their elders!
