The Aurora County All-Stars

"To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle."
-- Walt Whitman

"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." -- Rogers Hornsby, 2nd baseman, St. Louis Cardinals

Ruby is here. Melba Jane is here. Comfort even makes her presence known. Also in attendance:.

An 88-year-old recluse with a secret.
A 12-year-old baseball pitcher with a recovering elbow.
A 14-year-old pageant director with too much bling and 'tude..
A 6-year-old tap-dancing wannabe with toilet-paper-roll binoculars.
A town full of Mamas who want their boys to shine.
A friendship that's about to implode.
A wheezy old dog named Eudora Welty who just wants to know what it's all about..

One big game.
One big pageant.
On the same day.
What's a ball team to do?
