One more go of it
Riggleman promises to enjoy final regular season home date with Spring Arbor baseball By Mike Moore Staff Writer Spring Arbor — In a sport like baseball, a consistent routine is as much a fabric of the game as red laces and white chalk. For the better part of 40 years, when Sam Riggleman and his team hosted an opponent, he’s tried to keep the same routine each time out. On Friday, that just may the therapeutic measure Riggleman needs. “We’re going to go out, get the tarps off, prep the field and try to stick to the schedule,” Riggleman said Thursday night about a 2 p.m. Friday doubleheader at home against Goshen College. “I don’t feel like anything magical is going on right now.” Maybe not magical, but certainly monumental.

So, the summer before my senior year, myself and four buddies loaded into my green Topaz and headed to Bowling Green State University for a couple days away from home, immersing ourselves under the eyes of dozens of college coaches from near and far. For me, nothing really came of that other than a few needed pointers in how to throw the football. For others, I’m certain doors were opened.
