Baseball barrage is no bother

Ever have baseball-sized hail pelt your yard?

How about just baseballs?

Mark and Judy Chamberlain have. To them, College World Series time means it’s time to cover the tomatoes.

Their house sits conveniently behind the left-field fence at Bellevue East’s Roddy Field — the place where many College World Series teams practice during their Omaha stay.

And don’t think the players taking BP at Roddy don’t notice the home’s proximity.

“Swing for the houses? I think that should be our motto, maybe,” said LSU second baseman DJ LeMahieu.

Thankfully, the people there don’t have a giant dog that is referred to only as “the beast”.
