Changes Around Billings IV

The four pennants in a column on the left indicate that Great Falls is on top and Billings is on the bottom in the northern division of the Pioneer League I think.
Sorry friends, it is taking me longer than usual to get caught up with what is new at Dehler Park. Chalk that up to age and being away for three weeks.The picture to the lower right was taken from left field trying to give you an impression of the vastness of the outfield, something we don’t always appreciate from the grandstand behind home plate.
I mentioned the 329 Club earlier but forgot to include a picture of the serving girls and to remark on the presence of these very nice young ladies in scattered places around the park, in addition to their presence out in the left field corner, almost like the stewardesses on airplanes in the olden days.Well, now wait a minute, now that I think about it the stewardesses I remember never dressed in red tank tops.
Perhaps the management is trying to make up for the awkwardness and forced cosiness of most of the seats. The young ladies take your orders for drinks etc and bring them back to you with a smile. See below left for a picture of the one serving Sec 111.
The Fourth of July featured an early game with the home team wearing the funny striped socks and short trousers we all wore back in the 50s, when we were playing baseball that is.
The Mustangs continued their losing streak, 3-2, to Missoula this time. Our batters completely fell asleep in the latter half of the game. At this level if the pitchers hold the opponents down to say less than 6 runs then it should be up to the offense to get 7 runs. A few errors and a few walks are to be expected.
Fleury switched to catching and Sosa switched to first base and both did well if I remember correctly though nobody made much of a dent in the Missoula pitching.
I’m not sure if these LazE Boys are permanent seats here or not. The colors seem to go with the Cincinnati red color. As you can see everybody needs to bring their own protection from the elements. Today it was the sun.
