Today's post is a little more cheery. I actually made it to Ripken today. I bought five shirts, two black (tournament operations), two green (grounds crew :( ) and one blue (retail and concession). The fields look amazing and the interns are friendly. I'm already looking forward to Sunday.
I get to work the picnic party. Five of us interns get to serve the food, drinks, and beer to the players, coaches, and families as they enter for the kick-off ceremonies. Other interns then take over for the skills competitions of home run derby, fastest double play combo, among other things. There is even a playground beyond center field for the players.
Monday I am on tournament ops. I put wristbands on the kids as they come in so that they can access the water park and racetrack. Tuesday I am grounds crew in the afternoon. Wednesday I get to announce two games in the morning for the 12-U tournament. Thursday I am grounds crew at 6am. :(. Friday I am making gift bags for the next weeks tournaments.
Luckily for me, as I was writing this my computer went down because it came loose from the charger, but Google Chrome saved it. :)
We have two tournaments this week, a 12-U and a 14-U.
I am really looking forward to the summer. It is just my extended vacation. :) Right now I am just laying in bed, drinking some Gatorade, and resting up for the start of the week on Sunday.

Sounds awesome! And think how tan and toned you will get doing grounds work. :)
