Train Wreck owner is on the move!

Very happy to announce that Mount Pleasant owner PJ Carr is soon moving much closer, leaving The South to start a new job in September with the Toledo Mud Hens (he will also be working for the Toledo Walleye, their minor league hockey team).  Very excited to have him back closer to home, and very happy to have him closer for league activities.  He and Doug can meet up at Tony Packo's to play a few games!

Friendship League hits Grand Rapids!

The 2nd Annual Friendship League Beer 'N Baseball trip was a great time, Grand Rapids lived up to its reputation as both 'Beer City' and 'Cool City'!  Highlights of the trip included a Whitecaps victory, a bumbling home plate umpire that made Enrico Palatzzo look competent, three brewery visits, the first league game played in an Uber car, late night go-karting at AJ's Family Fun Center, Fred winning the big pot in the infamous 'Cup' game, and the exciting buildup to the midnight Leicester City soccer match  :-)   Fun was had by all and can't wait until next year's trip!

Outstanding seats for the game, well within range for the terrible
ump to hear the heckling

Looks like we melted into the Cheers opening montage,
nice camera trick Fred!

Not often that I take restroom pictures, but liked the décor

best with Katy Perry's 'Firework' on in the background
