Tying a Better Shoelace Knot
We've seen it happen. The bat makes great contact with the ball then it's beat feet down the first base line. Halfway to first, a shoe comes flying off. Instinct kicks in and now the search is on to retrieve the shoe. Out at first. Don't be a shoeless runner. Learn how to tie a better knot -- especially effective on those slippery round laces.

Mountain View Patch Article on T-Ball
Every Thursday, Old Mountain View resident Joni Ratts shares her musings about everything and anything in the online publication, Mountain View Patch. Here's the link to her article, POLL: Hot Dog, It's Baseball Season!. The article is worth a read. She shares an insightful observation: "Learning the game isn’t about winning; it’s about sportsmanship and teamwork." At the end of the article, be sure to participate in the online poll about your favorite ballpark snacks. Friday, May 4
