Underground Railroad Kickball League


Deya (Team Doppelgänger super star and sister to beau farmer T) has pinned the badge of “Kickball Commish of the Appalachians” on her striped thigh-high stockings and orgainzed a weekly pick up league to serve the young at play of Summers County, West Virginia. The “kickball field” is near the old “basketball court” of an unused campground along the New River…now overrun with tall grass and wildflowers. The just beyond these trees and around that bush route to reach it makes you feel like you’re part of some secret club. And, yes, as the league’s moniker suggests, the hollers of “Go home!” and “He’s out!” harmonize with the buzzing of insects and the call of the train. Woot, woot!
