181/366 The essentials are all packed for the start of our latest attempt to reclaim the Guinness World Record for longest baseball marathon. Starting on Tuesday (July 3) at 7 a.m. about 50 of us will attempt to play 60 consecutive hours of hardball. Fast pitch. Wood bat. And 100-degree temperatures. The whole marathon will raise money for Backstoppers, a charity in St. Louis that helps the families of fallen police officers and fire fighters. Find out more here. (Taken with Instagram)
