HARD NEWS is UP–TO-DATE happing right that minute news -it is reported when/as it happens.
I am attending Mike Littlewood's induction into the Hall of Fame for his service at Dixie State University as a baseball coach several years ago.
During the induction we can participate in a 'live silent auction'. There are baseball hat packages to be won, autographed art and baseballs, along with an ongoing raffle. I will report here as I win or if someone I know wins or gets the final bid at action.
Many current baseball players are in attendance along with families and supporters from the community. This is a fundraiser for the Dixie State University Baseball team and all proceeds, along with the purchase of season tickets for a discount that is happening over in the back, left corner of the room, goes to help the team and the renovation of the locker room facilities.
DD Udy just missed the winning bid on season tickets, so because he is a great supporter and participator in the sport, he is over purchasing a pass right now!
But this is Don, a former scout for the Cincinnati Reds and his wife Dicy. They are supporting hats that were WON at the silent action! Such good sports! But I needed to edit this because of the shadow on their faces that I unfortunately didn't notice a I was taking the shot.
Mr Udy is also holding a hat that he was given at the dinner and auction.

Edited version of picture above - cropped and enhanced to give a better effect - it was really dark and a slide show, and since I was just a beginner with my cameras I was glad for editing software!
