The Longest Game
A group of local baseball players are attempting to break the world record for the longest baseball game and raise money for the Alberta Cancer Foundation. They have been playing since September 2 and will finish today on September 5. If you are interested in learning more about the event
(albertacancer.ca/baseballgame) go to the url. I went last night and took a few pictures. Appropriately when I arrived they were playing 50 Mission Cap (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-t8W4X8Obo) by The Tragically Hip (www.thehip.com). The Hip's lead singer, Gord Downie, has terminal cancer(www.thehip.com/news/an-important-message-from-the-band/) The band just finished a farewell tour earlier this summer. 50 Mission Cap is one of my favourite songs by the band and like almost everything they did the song is quirky and very Canadian.
