108  Sacred Heart Mens Club members, wives and friends participated in the second annual Take Me Out To The Ballgame trip.  The attendees gathered at the Sacred Heart Church parking lot on Monday, June 17, 2013 and boarded two buses from the Quachita Bus Line Co., leaving at 4:30 PM headed for North Little Rock.  Along the way the attendees received a package of "in the shell" roasted peanuts that go along with the song "Take Me Out To The Ballgame, Buy Me Some Peanuts, etc., etc.  Upon arriving at Dickey-Stevens Ballpark, home of the Arkansas Travelers baseball team, a dinner consisting of hamburgers and hot dogs and all the fixings was waiting for them.  After a prayer , led by Fr. Bill, the attendees ate their fill and were ready for the ballgame which started at 7:10 PM. The Travelers were playing their arch rivals, the Naturals from Northwest Arkansas, and unfortunately were beaten by a score of 5 to 2.  After the game the attendees again boarded the buses for the trip home, arriving at 11:30 PM.  A good time was had by all and the Mens Club thanks Buddy Dixon, and his wife Martha, for all the hard work they put in to plan and execute a great outing.
