Calling All Baseball Fans, JUCO Baseball is Here!!!

Every year, since I was seven, come Memorial Weekend I knew where I was going to be, at the JUCO National World Series Baseball Tournament. This tournament goes all week long with the championship game on Saturday. I enjoy watching good baseball, in fact, when I was in high school, I would ditch school just to go watch the games. I wasn't the only kid there either. Once I had my drivers license, if my younger siblings found out I was going they would beg me to pick them up form school. It got to the point that my mom would just write a note so our absences were excused. The school district eventually changed the school schedule so that schools get out the week before JUCO starts. I don't know if it had anything to do with the missing students, but I'm sure there are less kids missing their finals. Now I have a 9 year-old boy, who loves to go to JUCO and it is so much fun to watch him get into the tournament and cheer for his favorite team. If you are going to be in the Grand Junction area, I would encourage you to try to take in a game. The evening games are the most fun to attend and I would recommend getting there at least a half hour early in order to get a decent seat. The first game will be at 9:00am this Saturday, May 24th. By the way, you can't beat the price. A tournament pass(19 games) is $25 for the entire week for adults and children are $20. You can get more information on the tournament including the teams who will be playing this year, the tournament bracket, and you can listen to the games live at http://www.jucogj.org/index.php. If you happen to go, look for me I'm usually sitting on the third base line.
