Bridge City Bobcat Says:

Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 8:36 pm

Many people here are still recovering from Rita and Ike in Bridge City, I can say that all these young men should be proud of the game(s) they have played for us to see/listen to on the tv/radio. Baseball is a sport to be enjoyed, and I can say I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Home runs, great plays by both sides made this more exciting than the professional games. Biloxi has overcome Katrina recently and we have so much in common. These young players should be proud of the way they never gave up, and that is the important thing in life for all us Americans along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. We hope you are rooting for us in the next game, as we would be for you. What is stronger than a hurricane? People working and playing baseball together. Amen!
