Sporting Event: Cruisers vs. Bahamian National Baseball Team


A night out at the old ballgame. Note the broadcasting booth on the 2nd floor of the bar


Last night about 200 cruisers made it over to Georgetown and hiked to the baseball field to cheer on our team as they played the highly competent Bahamian National baseball team. Luckily for us, some of the Bahamian players brought along their girlfriends and kids to play, an  attempt to make the teams even. The real team had no problem, knocking it out of the park with skill and ease.
The umpires were a comedy team

   Our team, the Yukon  Burbins, used a strategy that if one batter got a hit, the entire team ran the bases, to get a few more scores on the board. Around the 4th inning, the cruisers drafted some key players from the other team, and awarded them a T shirt to authenticate their loyalty to their new team. That’s when things started looking up.
It was a rollicking night of music, rum, barbeque and baseball. We took the ferry home at 11 pm! That’s a record for staying up late.
