The Babe Ruth World Series for 16-18-year-olds was held in Ephrata this past week. While we were in town, we frequented the park, of course. Dave and Bryan worked on field maintenance all week. Dave has actually happily worked on the field for about 40 years,
but that's another story.
There was new and fresh signage for the event. Yep, Johnson-O'Brien Stadium is the name.
Aunties and cousins watching the opening ceremonies.
Mitch thinks the field is his personal playground and each tractor is also his. He was a big help getting the field ready, as was profiled in the local newspaper.
After the picture ran (and despite its glaring "Stayton" typo), Mitch was a mini-celebrity at the field getting hellos and high-fives as he cruised his territory.

Love the picture in the paper! I'm sure he LOVED all the players' attention. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo fun to have the whole fam here for the kickoff. I'm sure Dave could not have made it through the week without Mitch's "help"
