Think Green (baseball fields)
Baseball, like many sports, can all be about timing.
Locally, that was evident on Wednesday when the Laramie Rangers Prep team (ages 13-14) was scheduled to open the season at Cowboy Field against the Fort Collins Hawks.
The new developmental American Legion team is a member of the Fort Collins Baseball Club, thus the early start for local baseball. For much of the day, it appeared that the weather would be OK for baseball. At 3 p.m., it was still 50 degrees. But the game by then was postponed because of the weather forecast -- snow and lots of it.
By the 6:15 p.m. scheduled start, it was snowing. Of course, by Thursday there was about 10 inches of the wet stuff on the ground. It was a good preventive move to not play.
The Rangers Prep team will try again on April 19 when they host the Fort Collins Storm in a doubleheader. Hopefully, it will be spring by then.
Look for a little preview of the Rangers Prep team sometime next week on Wyomingsports.org and coverage of all three Laramie American Legion teams this year.
Remember, think green (baseball fields).
