Streaker Who Ran Through Indiana Baseball Game Offered Contract
A streaker carrying an American flag recently ran across the field at a Dubois County Bombers game, and now he's been offered to play for the team. I've only ever been to one baseball game in my entire life. It was at Busch Stadium on Wednesday, July 29, 2015, when the Cardinals went up against the Cincinnati Reds. I honestly don't remember much from the game itself, because that evening just so happened to be "Star Wars Night" at the stadium.

That said, I had a great time, and it was a memorable experience.
