Go Sox!

The popularity of baseball seems to be growing in Israel. Autograph sessions like this are a daily occurrence and the stands are still full each game. Perhaps it is because the Blue Sox are still in first place. Speaking of which, they are barely hanging on to first place by .5 game. They suffered another defeat today to the Tel Aviv Lightening in a close pitchers dual. The Blue Sox are 16-7 which is a great record for any team, and they are about half way through their season. The Tel Aviv Lightening and the Modi'in Miracles are hot on their tail. The next closest team after that is a long 6.5 games out of first. It is hard to believe a month has gone by already but on the other hand it seems like it has been longer. They will be back before I know it. Hopefully the Sox can get back on their winning streak and put some distance between themselves and Tel Aviv.
