Take me out to the ballgame

The local kids here really want to play baseball. but many of them are too poor to even have a bat or glove. Our friend Kaye Kirkes has sponsored a team called the Chuburna Indians. People have donated equipment, uniforms, and have helped getting the dilapidated ball park gussied up. They have started practicing with a couple of coaches from Merida and are really excited about their first game in a few weeks. Chief went to one of their practices and took a few pictures and set them to that all time favorite, one that everybody knows the words to: "Take Me Out To The Ballgame". Join us in wishing these kids the joy of baseball.
