Timber Rattlers Game Notes: RattlersGameNotesJune142013

I remember many a time, going into someplace like Wrigley Field – where you could cut the humidity with a knife – and playing a doubleheader. I loved to play the game. It didn’t matter if it was a doubleheader, or a single game, or a day game after a night game. I wanted to play. – Gary Carter

What a great day for baseball in Beloit!
