Manatee game well worth the wet seats

 The final game of the season for the Milwaukee Brewers AAA Minors team - the Manatees - was wonderful. By the second inning the sky began to look ominous but nobody really paid attention. This is Florida, after all!
 So when it started to come down, people just went out and waited patiently. Downstairs everyone got out their phones and tapped into their weather apps and compared radars. General consensus was that it would pass by. Some left the game anyway, and some stayed in their seats under cover... but the lightening was a little scary to be sitting under a metal roof...good time for a beer...
 Finally, after about 45 minutes, they rolled up the tarp and the game resumed...it was business as usual...
 The business of playing the game and fooling around a bit more than usual because, after all, it WAS the last game...
So long for another year, guys... thanks for the good times and especially for winning the last game! Yeah!!!
