I unfortunately live on the Peninsula so it is quite a road trip for me.

I used to be a season ticket holder for football so lots of trips to Blacksburg over the years. I am somewhat inhibited now after my eight month battle with covid which started in a Mexican hospital in September of 21 and included two months in a coma on a ventilator and a very dire prognosis. The first time out of my house was a trip to Longwood where I watched Emma Lemley and Ivy Rosenberry toss a couple of no-hitters in a double header. I follow the team mostly from afar, but try to catch them live when they are closer to me. You are correct that grandpa Mazzarone can certainly dish out the encouragement. I really enjoyed our softball discussion throughout the game especially with his granddaughter pitching. Of course we had that Italian connection as well. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you this weekend but maybe if we host or possibly next year we can connect. Thanks for the reply.
