Post by Dan Cummings - Let's keep it light this week. I'll join my voice to others you may hear, and read....and say "Take Me Out to the Ballgame!" And I'm not even a huge baseball fan. But, just like the St. Patrick's Parade in mid-March, opening day for the Chiefs at Alliance Bank Stadium is a sign of the season. I think they call it spring, even if it takes forever to arrive in Central New York. Our Triple-A team has launched another season, and they deserve our support. The grass is real now. There's plenty of parking. And whether it's an evening or a weekend afternoon...the ballpark can be a fantastic place to take the family and get some fresh air. And cheer the Chiefs on to victory.
Before long, spring softball leagues and Little League games will be in full swing, too. Winter has finally melted into spring, we hope. And the sights, sounds and smells of the great American pastime are taking center field again.
So, when it comes to the Chiefs, a full ballpark could go a long ways towards community spirit, and a few more wins. Wins have been hard to come by for this team in recent years. Win or lose, the could use our support. No better time to show it than right now, at the start of a brand new season.
