Pitchers and catchers have reported, and the Twins take on the Reds this Thursday.

 

The sun, no longer denied its inherent brawn, instead chases the chill each morning, leaving in its stead promises of fairer weather.

 

The MHBA Chili Cook-Off is just around the corner.

 

All this can only mean one thing—

 

Baseball season is near at hand!

 

That in turn tells us that it’s time once again to sign up for the club’s tailgating party at Midway Stadium with the Saint Paul Saints.

 

Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 22nd.  That’s when the MHBA takes over a tailgating spot at 4:00, quaffs copious homebrews, grills and grills and grills some more, then staggers in to catch a few innings of baseball without getting rowdy enough to get tossed out.  (and at the SAINTS, one can really never get TOO rowdy!)

 

When you realize that you do not want to miss out, please send $12 per ticket (payable to MHBA) to John Longballa, 1211 Minnehaha Ave W, Saint Paul, 55104.  Everyone in attendance receives a free Saints baseball.

 

The club picks up the cost of the tailgate spot, everyone brings food and drink, and select volunteers bring grills.

 

This has become a SERIOUSLY fun event, so do not miss it!  In years past there has been cross-dressing, Pedal-Pubbing, and cheesburgers made with Krispie Kremes!  Families and non-homebrewing friends are very welcome.

 

Please send your ticket money now, so that we can plan accordingly.

 

Thanks,
John
