Day 299: Commander Baker!


Today was Austin High School's annual Commander Baker charity softball game! Every year, the school raises money for students and teachers play against each other and donate the money for scholarships and a charity of the student's choice. This tradition started in 2002, in order to honor the fallen ones in our country. It was fueled by the tragedy of September 11th, and the shortly there-after loss of our very own JROTC Commander Joe Baker. 2011 was the 10-year anniversary of our game, so it had to be a big one! Before the game, there's a midway filled with games like the dunking booth, pie-a-teacher-in-the-face, and even a piƱata stand! The game itself was a little lame, it was the first time in history that the teachers and the students tied... what is that! Usually we play extra innings, but I guess the teachers just weren't up to it this year, they know they were gonna lose! Cale was the announcer of the game, and he spiced things up by getting the crowd's attention and asking his girlfriend Victoria to prom, so cute! She's not one for loving the spotlight, but she definitely felt like one special girl :)
