Muskego Kicks Off the Baseball Season Under Football Weather Conditions

Paul Peardon was probably as excited as any of the hundreds of kids in attendance at the Muskego Athletic Association kickoff celebration Saturday at Bluhm Park.

The MAA event chairman was also the emcee for the events offered to families who came out to celebrate the start of youth baseball for summer. This was the first such event that the organization has held, and high winds, cold temperatures and occasional rain was not going to dampen the spirit.

"People have been great - there were actually a few more out here earlier before the sun even came out, and we're thrilled to see the involvement," Peardon said.

The baseball program features about 40 teams for kids from ages 6 to 14 years old, and it appeared like all of the teams were out in force on Saturday, enjoying free hot dogs and soda, playing on inflatables and even getting a little batting practice in.
