-Notion City, March 3rd, 1920 Sports
Still stranded after their away game three weeks ago, the Burlington Egrets decided to challenge the home team, Notion City Greens, to a free game for all who could attend. With clear skies seen the first time in a few days, many were in attendance. And, although most were turned away at the door, everyone managed to find a way to watch the exciting match even if it meant standing on your friend's shoulders to peek over the fence.
The Burlington Egrets have been eager to return home since the Fog first descended.
"It's hard, ya know?" says right fielder Greg Thomas. "We've got family outside waiting for us, God knows what they're thinking happened to us." While many do have friends and family on the outside, the Egrets say it's even harder if you're not from Notion City. And the ones you love are outside of it.
"I really miss my family," catcher Dean Harris states, "I got two little girls. It tears me up each day that passes I don't get to see them."
Only a short time has passed since the Metropolitan Police have put a halt on all traffic through the Fog. Stranding the Burlington Egrets, as well as many others visiting Notion City for all manner of reasons.
The game went on for nine solid innings and, although no one kept score, the Notion City Greens admitted defeat graciously. The Egrets appreciate the gesture as well as the good will shown to them by all of our fair City while they stay and hold out hope.
