**ARRIVE ON TIME. No shows will get you banned from the group.** ***Arrival after 11:00 will result two turns as goalkeeper per half.***

The Spear Cuts through Water by Simon Jimenez

**Regarding location - Google will may say that the Hugh is closed, but it is not. We will meet inside the food court and there will be sign holders on the table with the book cover on it.** From Good Reads: **Two warriors shepherd an ancient god across a broken land to end the tyrannical reign of a royal family in this new epic fantasy from the author of *The Vanished Birds.*** The people suffer under the centuries-long rule of the Moon Throne. The royal family—the despotic emperor and his monstrous sons, the Three Terrors—hold the countryside in their choking grip. They bleed the land and oppress the citizens with the frightful powers they inherited from the god locked under their palace. But that god cannot be contained forever. With the aid of Jun, a guard broken by his guilt-stricken past, and Keema, an outcast fighting for his future, the god escapes from her royal captivity and flees from her own children, the triplet Terrors who would drag her back to her unholy prison. And so it is that she embarks with her young companions on a five-day pilgrimage in search of freedom—and a way to end the Moon Throne forever. The journey ahead will be more dangerous than any of them could have imagined. Both a sweeping adventure story and an intimate exploration of identity, legacy, and belonging, *The Spear Cuts Through Water* is an ambitious and profound saga that will transport and transform you—and is like nothing you’ve ever read before.

Club rule: In accordance with NYC Parks regulations, **no alcohol or smoking** is permitted at the event, including on the field, in the dugouts, or in any adjacent public areas. This applies to all club members. Anyone choosing to drink alcohol or smoke is taking themselves out of the remainder of the game. All players must be at least 18 years old. Bring your own wooden bat if you have one. Pre-season & Fall games will not have the "community" bats that are at summer games. Be sure to ask before using somebody else's bat.

Please also bring batting helmets and share it you can. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Welcome to Casual Baseball Club (CBC). We are CoEd and all experience levels are welcomed this is a friendly but competitive game. We are open to all who are looking to play. The aim of each session is to have balanced teams facing each other, you will be assigned a team prior to the session and be expected to cooperate with your teammates. ***RULES*** \*Honor your RSVP! If you RSVP you are agreeing to make it to the session. Not showing up ruins the experience for everyone, so only RSVP if you can actually arrive. If something comes up, give us a heads up or simply switch your RSVP to not going. We don't charge you to RSVP unless you've no-showed or late canceled in the past. However, if you are a no show you will automatically be put onto the waitlist going forward. \*Slide Rule! When you are a runner on first base, and running to second base on a hit, make an active effort to get out of the fielder's throw (if you want more clarification just ask and we'll explain) otherwise we'll rule it a Double play \*Wooden Bats Only!! CBC supplies public equipment for anyone to use marked with green tape, however, players are welcomed to bring their own personal equipment and have it for their own personal use. So don't break somebody's beloved bat, just use the public bats. \*Team assignment When assigned a team please be sure to show up with that color. We supply the Meetup with Bats, Baseballs, Bases, Catching Gear, and Helmets. From your end, it is not too difficult to bring a colored shirt and a glove.
