MOLESKIN:

This was a baseball themed event centered around Fenway and Wrigley. Scrooge is the original AO spot for F3 Florence, so I felt very much like a person visiting those original stadiums might feel today.

Much like Fenway has the Green Monster, we incorporated some leg work on the Green Wall. I’d love to sit on the seats on top of that Green Wall one day.

And Wrigley Field has the league’s oldest scoreboard with a truly interesting story. The scoreboard itself is three floors high. So we did three rounds of work on the track. On the last lap we waved to the crowd after hitting a homerun, which would’ve certainly gotten the next batter dinged but possibly worth it given the situation.

Finally, the great Pete Rose passed away yesterday. He amassed a still unbroken record of 4,256 hits. We didn’t do anything with those numbers as I think I would’ve had a mutiny if I tried to do anything 4,256 times. The number 20 was used a lot, and I wish I had a good reason but I don’t.

Had a great time Qing at Scrooge for the first time. Thank you all!
