I’m not sure if we are finally watching the death of the Fall Fair. I haven’t heard the proverbial “fat lady” singing yet. I know where I won’t hear her, or anyone else for that matter.

Bottom of the ninth. the rookies load the bases for the Cambridge Citizen. In May, the Citizen fielded a team that surprised everyone as they showed they weren’t out of their league.
