On the giant menu of minor league promotions, children running the bases after the game is pretty much routine. If you attend any minor league game, the sight of a steady column of kids galloping gleefully on the infield dirt is about as much a part of the normal experience as the dancing mascots. But the Kane County Cougars have taken that fairly typical and expected event and spiced it up just a touch. In short, they dropped the age limit.
Anyone can run the bases. All ages are welcome. And they do this after every game.
I know a lot of you have been looking forward to taking in a few KC games this season; I am throwing you all a challenge. Put on your BleacherNation gear, get out on those base paths, and make sure someone is standing by with a camera. Post your pictures of post-game enjoyment on Facebook, on Twitter, on the Message Boards, or anyplace else that will let you share the awesome with the rest of the BleacherNation community. Old, young, it no longer matters. Just head on out, have a blast, and send us the pictures.
And if you happen to get any really good shots of Brett, be doubly sure to pass those on.
