Capahas' season

It's fun to watch local baseball games during the summer months, including the Plaza Tire Capahas.

With a history of successful campaigns, this year's squad recently wrapped up its season at the National Baseball Congress World Series. After an impressive regular season in which the team compiled a 28-3 record, the Capahas went 4-2 at the tournament in Wichita, Kan.

This was the team's 32nd consecutive appearance at the NBC World Series. They were managed by longtime Southeast Missouri baseball icon Jess Bolen -- who has a record of 1,465 wins and 393 losses over 47 seasons.

It's impressive how Bolen, with the support of his wife, Mary, and many supporters, continues to lead the amateur baseball team each season.

For local baseball fans, spending a day at Capaha Field watching the boys of summer provides wonderful entertainment and an opportunity to enjoy time with family and friends.

Congratulations to the Capahas on a wonderful season.
