Field of Dreams (Mini-Event!)

'Morning, Everyone!

As some of you may know, last night was Game 1 of the 2015 World Series (GO METS!) marking the end of baseball season until spring training starts it all over again next year. As some of you may also know, Captain Steve Rogers happens to be a fan of the sport even if the Dodgers' trade to LA breaks his wee Brooklyn heart.

In honor of the season and to send The Boys off with a bang, Steve will be hosting a baseball game in the holodecks on what will be Game 7 of the World Series (assuming we get one), Wednesday, November 4th! I'm keeping this pretty relaxed and open to anyone, since I'm still easing back into playing after RL stole me away, but if we have enough interest that we get two full teams of players Steve will be delighted to make a real game out of it. If everyone has fun with it, I'd like to do a more structured baseball plot next season with more games and a special World Series closer for whomever plays (maybe there will even be a trophy).

Steve will be kicking around this weekend with a practice game, which will be an invitation for anybody to wander into the holodeck and join him and sign up IC for the game on Wednesday. Then Wednesday, whomever signs up will be divided into teams for actual play. This is totally for fun, so superpower cheats, stealing bases, and mayhem on the field is all allowed — so long as you don't mind making Captain America facepalm into eternity.

If you want in on Wednesday's game, drop a comment below and let me know so I can plan ahead for how many will be playing. Since I'm also gauging interest for next year, feel free to comment with any questions or suggestions, too. Happy World Series Week, baseball fans!
