After the Friday evening Steak supper in the park, the 125th anniversary celebration continued with DONKEY SOFTBALL! If you have never had the opportunity to take part or to watch this fun sport, you are missing out! The picture's don't do this justice. I can't count the times the riders fell off the donkey's, either over their head because they stopped short, or of the back or side because of the weird stubborn moves. There were a couple of donkeys that were especially hard to ride. The rider's spent more time on the ground or trying to pull them, whisper in their ear or even trying to bribe them with a hand full of green grass. 
Some of the ruels were having to be on the donkey both to tag someone out or to throw the ball. Also they had to get on the donkey just after making their hit and ride all around the bases. You can see they made the ball diamond smaller just for the donkey ball game. The score was always close but ended 6 to 7. 
They are rather cute, don't you think? How can these precious, adorable, sweet, innocent donkeys cause so much chaos?
