In the manner of...

George Plimpton or Nellie Bly, Brett Christopherson takes the participatory journalism thing to the next level!
Why was I here? What was I thinking? And most ominously: Is he going to drown me with another pina colada?
Well, if you like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain....
It was Wednesday, and I was a strike away from a whipped ego after accepting an invite to check out the one-year-old venue — site of a coed tournament this weekend benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin — and see if I had enough game to muster a hit in just one at-bat against Krueger.
And how did that at bat turn out, Brett?
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;

The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,

And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;

But there is no joy in my house these days – because Krueger struck me out.

Ouch. I'll give you points for bravery. Double points for putting VIDEO of it at the link.

To be fair, there is much more at the link. Check it out Because...
Did you see Brett Christopherson hit that ball?

Did he it it? Aw, no and that ain't all!

He wrote it up!

He sure did, yep!

That Brett is real gone!
Apologies to Count Basie and his entire orchestra.
