Time to Shine at 'The Battle of Harbor Yard'

I'm looking forward to being the public address announcer for the annual baseball game between Warde and Ludlowe. This year's contest takes place at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, which is the home to the Atlantic League's Bridgeport Bluefish. The game is scheduled for tomorrow evening, May 12, at 6 p.m.

Warde athletic director Glenn Mackno asked me to announce the game, and I jumped at the opportunity. I announced the football game between the two schools at Ludlowe last Thanksgiving morning, and I also announced the boys' and girls' basketball games between the Mustangs and Falcons at Warde in February.

This will be a special treat, no doubt. Sure, it's been almost 40 years since I graduated Andrew Warde High School. But, I still return to the school every afternoon to pick up my son, and I volunteer as the public address annoucer. In fact, I'll be at Warde next week to announce the boys' lacrosse Senior Night festivities and game.

Once a Crimson Eagle, always a Mustang! I guess that's how it goes.
