Thursday Night Baseball!

The Tribe (in white) battled the Astros (in red) on Thursday night in Redford!

     The Tribe met up with the Astros last night, under the lights at Handy Park in Redford.  Both teams compete in a 55 and over, wood bat, hardball league.  The talent level, and ability of most of the players was at a high level, and I had no idea that the age group was 55 and over, until I talked to a member of the Tribe coaching staff.  The Tribe starting pitcher (#21) was throwing smoke, and the Astros hitters looked uncomfortable, and confused at the dish.  The Tribe were able to score a couple of runs early, and added eight runs during a fifth inning onslaught.  The Tribe defeated the Astros by a final score of 11-0.
     Handy Park is located on Capitol Avenue, west of Beach Daly, in Redford.  Formerly known as Capitol Park, Handy Park offers fields and courts for baseball, softball, soccer, tennis, and roller-hockey.  Handy Park also features trails for walking, or jogging, and shares a parking lot with the Redford Township Community Center.  There is also a skate park, and a splash pad for the kids, but for the most part, Handy Park is usually quiet, and is less frequently visited then other parks in the area.  For more information about upcoming events at Handy Park click on the link below.

     The 2013 Heroes on Hines Half Marathon and 5k run takes place bright and early on October 5th, and runs along a scenic stretch of Hines Drive which begins at Haggerty, and runs west through the Plymouth and Northville communities.  The half marathon begins at 8:00, while the 5k begins at 8:30.  There is a three and a half hour cut off for the half marathon, and all participants that complete the half marathon receive a medal.  Commemorative buttons will be given to all who complete the 5k, and several individual, and team awards will be handed out to men, and women in different age groups.  Both races begin at the corner of Hines Drive and Haggerty road.  Click on the link below for more information about the event!
                       

                                      So how many miles is a 5k?  What about a half marathon? 





5k   =  3.1 miles


10k  =  6.2 miles


1/2 Marathon  =  13.1 miles


Marathon        =  26.2 miles


1/2 Marathon  +  10k  -  5k  =  16.2 miles
