Letter to the Editor: Joplin Globe: MSSU Baseball

Thank you Joplin Globe, for helping me support the MoSo baseball program...

Has anyone else noticed that the Missouri Southern State University baseball team has been winning a lot lately?

Seriously, these guys can flat bring it. Yet the stands are typically empty. What’s up with that? Come on, Joplin, this is your team. Your university. Your chance to have a great time for free.

Coach Darnell is putting a quality product on the field day after day, and it seems like the community is just ignoring it. I mean, there’s always a few parents, and the obligatory girlfriends, but shouldn’t there be more support for a program that’s winning games, entertaining, and free to the public?

I would think that given the current state of economic affairs that last bit would get some attention.

I know, I know... it’s soccer season. And this is football country. And, and, and, whatever. Can the excuses. The ’dogs are on the grill at Joe Becker Stadium (I dare you not to salivate), the field is ready, the team is good.

Check it out while there are still a few games left!
