We may be riding off into the sunset for this year, but the TIGERS are just getting started for next year. 
As we find our way home with many exciting memories and experiences, we look forward to next season, and many more great moments to come. We'll see you all when we get home. We have so many stories to tell.

After some mis-communication about using Rio Grande High School for practice. Which resulted in some exotic bug bites. An area to practice was found at Cibola High School, just a little down the road from the Inn at Rio Rancho.
All in all practice went well as the TIGERS look forward to their first game on Monday Morning.The banquet is tonight. More on that later.
Watch for new photos as they're posted at:

We're OFF.
The World Series website says that some of the games may be carried on a local radio station. It doesn't specify which one. I found a list of radio stations in the area and links to their web pages where they may have live simulcasts should we happen to draw a game with radio coverage. Here's the link:
