From the Phinney Books (Seattle, WA) newsletter: One of the side pleasures of having a neighborhood bookstore that I did not expect is having a baseball team named after you. With our fond memories of being a Ballard Little League family for a few years (not to mention fond memories of Chico’s Bail Bonds), when a friend asked if Phinney Books would like to sponsor a team in the North Central Little League, it didn’t take us long to say yes. In this busy, rainy spring, it took us most of the season to make it down to Lower Woodland field #3 to see the Phinney Books team in action, but last Saturday the sun came out, the field was almost dry, and we got to enjoy the all the chaos, spirit, and Craig Kimbrel imitations of eight-year-old Little League baseball (and got to say hi to some regular Phinney Books customers on the other side of the field too). If the weather holds (a big if this season in Seattle), Phinney Books has two more games left in the season, tonight and tomorrow morning. Thanks to Coach Kyle and all the kids for letting us join them and for wearing our logo with pride. We’re looking forward to next year already!
