The Greensboro Grasshoppers, just like many residents, won't be in town this weekend. They're playing in Kannapolis, which should bring in the crowds since Kannapolis is such a busy area. However, the above photo evokes the feeling of getting out and doing things together. If you are in town, consider heading to one of the community parks or pools for the last hurrah of summer. As for the Grasshoppers.........
In the overall standings for the South Atlantic League Northern , the Grasshoppers are second only to the Hagerstown Suns in terms of number of wins (41 Wins for Greensboro and 42 for Hagerstown). Since the Grasshoppers have 9 more wins than the Kannapolis Intimidators, they should have a pretty good weekend of baseball. And, the playoffs start next week. Together, Labor Day and the end of Grasshopper baseball really signal summer's coming to a screeching halt. So, wherever you may be this weekend, have fun- like you know that college football and pumpkin spice latte season are nipping at your heels!
Quite a name for a sports team. We have had minor league teams here in the past; the city's trying to see if there's someone who might pick up the torch again and start one up.
