Friday Flags at Colchester Baseball Fields

Our younger grandson is a freshman in high school and loves baseball. He tried out for the baseball team and was ecstatic when he made the team.

We drove over to his are of the state so we could watch one of his games and were pleased as he got to play, and his team won.

Of course, being a recreational field there was the obligatory flag.

Friday Flags at Colchester Baseball FieldsI waited a bit as it is my style, and the other team was at bat. I was not disappointed as the wind gave me a good opportunity, and like a patient batter I took the shot.

It was a great evening and even the dinner went down better with all the smiles.

Good morning Ed. I am not a baseball fan but can't think of something more American than a flag flying near a baseball field. Thanks for sharing, Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin   It is an American game so the flag belongs there.

Good morning, Ed. Great shots. But it did look to me like that flag has seen better days.

Hello Ed and baseball and the flags are to great things to see but I can not remember at out high school that we had a flag up at the ball field.

Will Hamm   The flag has the extra value of allowing the teams to know which way the wind is blowing to set the defense. Almost all major league parks use it for that reason.

Ed I remember when he was just a little rug rat.  Hard to believe he is already in High School.
