Sure you can get a $2 hot dog outside of any hardware store in North Dallas, and a $4 hamburger - well McD's certainly sells for less. But what they can't offer is a free baseball game to go with it. Since last fall season the parents of the Hillcrest baseball team have busily built a full-sized concessions shed to better serve the players, their families and the community.
Yesterday I pulled the early shift, the Panthers were playing a 3 team scrimmage against RL Turner and Seagoville - I highly recommend the hot chocolate on chilly mornings. And the other afternoon during a 4:30 game they had the grill going and were s

Or beginning March 5th, we host a our annual Bryan Martin Classic Tournament (at HHS and St. Marks), with an amazing lineup (Palmer, ESD, St. Marks, Hyde Park, Pearce, Molina, Frisco Centennial, Wilson) - three days of food and baseball all day long.
Oh, and President & Mrs. Bush, since you're our new neighbors we'd be happy to set you up with some VIP seating should you come over to enjoy a game, we know you're big baseball fans.
Pictured from top: "Chef" Kevin Sherrington mans the grill - where'd you learn that technique Kevin?; the view from inside is the best seat in the house, motivating volunteerism; the crowds attending seemed to appreciate being able to buy a cold drink or snack.
