Mosey to basketball court for some F3 Baseball
Divided up into four teams – each group of 3 then gathered on 1 of 4 bases
Each base was an exercise that the team had to do collectively

Whoever completed the most runs in 15 minutes won…nobody passed another team so it was a 4-way tie. Congratulations everybody!

End of the WO

The lesson from all this: the Reds WERE a great team, they are now ancient history just like these former players, the Big Red Machine was the greatest team of all time. In present times, the Phil Castellini Reds are the worst baseball team of all time. Castellini cries because he’s not making enough money. Don’t support him or his team, make sure his Reds go into the red so he sells them.
