Eclipse Baseball!!!
Junior Diamondbacks at Junior Giants. The Hops (Young DBacks) beat the Volcanoes (young Giants) today. Perfect weather and if a Volcanoes pitcher gets a strikeout, draft beers are $3 for 15 minutes! NASA is onsite and will be there tomorrow as well. First pitch 9:35am! They'll play till it gets too dark then pause and let NASA take over. Should be about 2.5 minutes of totality here!
'Eclipse' was also, from 1882-84, the name of Louisville's entry in the American Association (changed name after that to Colonels and continued under that name into the National League) - named, I think, after the famous late-18th-century thoroughbred of that name. The club folded in after the 1899 season when the NL cut back from 12 clubs to 8 (along with Washington, Cleveland and Baltimore).
