Sports
The Holmes Hole Sailing Association continued its summer season of handicap sailboat racing from Vineyard Haven Harbor with two Harbor races on June 26.
Summer stress driving you crazy? Admit it, vacationing isn’t always the mellow ride you envisioned. Trying to pack 365 days of fun into one weekend can even make you think better about coworkers and cubicles left behind.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Sixteen-month-old Tanner Weiss wants his daddy. The toddler is on the sidelines of Flanders Field, pouting and stretching out his arms toward third base, where Larry Weiss is holding down the fort for Sig’s Sluggers.
Sharks in Tune
This weekend it’s not just about baseball for the Martha’s Vineyard Sharks. Then again, every Sharks game brings with it far more than mere sport. Between innings trivia contests, frozen shirt races (you have to see it to believe it), bouncy house, great food, access to friendly players and a chance to kick back while the kids run free and wild, well, semiwild; each game is a true community event.
And on Sunday and Monday they are kicking it another notch.
Slamming It Down Streetball Style
The gameball is for kids at the annual streetball classic held in Niantic Park in Oak Bluffs on Saturday, July 2. But that doesn’t mean the stands won’t be packed with basketball fans of all ages and, even more importantly, skills.
Dr. J. has attended. More recently Ray Allen checked out the scene. It’s anyone’s guess who will stop by this year but no matter, really, because the real stars will be on the court.
