Battin’ things around

This will have to be quick today.  Couple of things - first, a reliable source tells me that there was a reason the Lynx didn’t place the Fun Zone in the picnic area: liability.  Anyone who’s been to a game at Lynx Stadium can tell you that on average, I would bet that no fewer than ten foul balls wind up in the picnic area each game (more or less, depending on how many left handed hitters are in the line up).  True, these aren’t typically “screaming” line drive fouls, but any type of ball striking a kid represents an un-acceptable risk.

Spring Training will be open to the public so we’ll all have an opportunity for a baseball “fix” in advance of Opening Day - more on this later.  Finally for today, Mr. Wolff will be returning to familiar turf this Wednesday when he steps in front of City Council to make a brief presentation before the regular Council meeting.  I believe that Rogers still webcasts Council meetings, but I’m less certain whether they cover the pre-meeting ceremonies.  I’ll post up on this before Wednesday’s meeting.
