Well today the new Negro League All Stars took the field against a crew of Hall of Famers, and at the Jamestown Stadium it was bring your pet day so naturally Ginger,Nutmeg, and Dice were on hand. Gingy and Meggers were content to run around in the outfield grass but Dice was intrigued with the game itself. She batted at the dice sniffed the scoresheet and pencil as well as the large blackdrop which moved when she touched it. She batted at the players pictures on the field,but her very favorite was the 20 sided dice. She continually batted at the curious object and on several occasions she tried to pick it up.
The game was won by the HOFers 5-3. Nlas William Bell gave up 5 runs on 14 hits including 3 by opossing hurler John Clarkson. Clarkson did not allow a run until the 7th and was the winner. NLAS only managed 7 hits and no homers were allowed in the game. It was Veterans Day but the veteran will not arrive until friday while leaving again on Sunday. It was a good afternoon with the light coming on at 4:50. The game itself took 54 minutes. As one fan put it "Dice likes Dice"
