You Guessed It

Tonites Post 58 Legion game against Wilson has been moved up to 6pm to try to beat any impending weather problems.


Coleman Pitt American Legion Post 58 game tonight at Wayne County was rained out.  I was in attendance to see the Tams in down town Rocky Mount and all the while had one eye peeled to the southern sky watching those clouds which never came north.

Starting Friday night CP 58 plays Friday at home, Saturday DH at home, off on Sunday and then play Monday at Kinston and Home Tuesday and Wednesday.  The only way to make up this rain for out tonight is Sunday and of course we don't know what Wayne County has on their plate for Sunday. Sure looks like baseball the 4th, fifth or sixth if need be to get the schedule in.

The NBA has completed the first round of the NBA draft and only two players were picked that had and connections to the State of North Carolina.  The way the NBA works if you are drafted in the first round you are guaranteed a contract for three years.  So if you are a bust in the NBA you will stay on the roster and will get all of the money whether you earned it or not.  Mason Plumlee of Duke and Kinston's Reggie Bullock were first round picks.

Any one else picked  pretty much has to go to camp and make the team that drafts you  and if you do that you will be given a contract.  If you don't make and NBA team then it is off to see the world and play for any professional team that is willing to pay you to play.  The average American player playing  across either ocean makes about $80,000 American dollars a year.  In baseball terms that's  minor league pay when you consider that the first round draft picks are all guaranteed at least a million a year for their first three years.
