Softball: Time to “evacuate” Irvine’s Barber Park

Right before the Valencia-Simi Valley game started, a gentlemen from the Southern Section office taped a sign to the tables in the makeshift press box here at Barber Park. The sign said that the entire stadium needed to be ‘evacuated’ before 9:30 p.m.

‘I think they meant to say vacated,’ my colleague Martin Henderson pointed out.

Whatever the case, the Valencia girls are loudly signing ‘We Are the Champions’ in the parking lot, reporters are feverishly typing into their laptops and the stadium light were just turned off. That’s my cue to vacate the venue.
