For 20 seasons, you could have stuffed my summer season nights.
We have now had a loopy relationship… an actual curler coaster of feelings.
You might be a few of my fondest reminiscences… And in addition a few of my most heartbreaking ones.
I’ve cried over you and a trophy that appears to all the time allude those that I really like.
I’ve celebrated triumphs.
Taken some fairly superior highway journeys.
Made life lengthy mates.
I’ve seen boys begin their careers and males end theirs.
And all of the bullpen luggage, and I actually do imply ALLLLL the luggage, that have been fastidiously picked and packed. I wouldn’t commerce these purchasing journeys or days of baking cookies for something.
My loyalty to my dwelling crew will all the time be there, however when you taught me one factor, it’s that the identify on the entrance of the jersey doesn’t matter in the long run.
The relationships I’ve made due to you go a lot deeper than if somebody is a WildThing, a Y’All, or perhaps a Miner… hell they could find yourself being all three sooner or later of their careers.
You’ve taught me to all the time care for the individuals who care for you.
This web site was constructed on that assertion, and I’ll all the time stand by that.
To the individuals and ballparks that really feel like dwelling, thanks.
You’ve helped this as soon as shy lady flip into the assured girl who created one thing fairly particular with Indy Ball Island.
You’ve given me a love for baseball that I now cross on to those that I coach.
You’ve given me a spot on this world.
The top of the common season has arrived, and this put up season will certainly be one that may toy with my feelings but once more.
20 years later… let’s see how this one performs out.
With love,
Ms. Indy Ball Island
