Great write-up. I was at the #SABR54 watch party from opening ceremonies until end of game, and it was so much fun (the camraderie and game itself)! I looked into buying a Boston Hunters cap awhile ago, but no luck. I hope one is available when my family and I go to see a #WPBL game next weekend.

So, last year's trade deadline did they do a thing where all the teams played at the same time? Or am I getting it mixed up with the final day of the season? Maybe the deadline was just on a weekend day, so you had lots of trade news breaking during the games. That was exciting. I liked that.

Just in case there was any doubt, yes, I’m watching the WPBL and intermittently sobbing. 😭 I love baseball. I love women. There are still good things in the world. 💕
