ENID — It was one of the best perks of any job a person could have.

When I was covering Enid's American Legion baseball team in the 1980s, they had a tradition I loved.

Once a summer someone would decide that a certain home game would be homemade ice cream night. And if I remember correctly, it was usually a single game as opposed to a double-header.

On that night, parents would show up with freezers of homemade ice cream and plastic bowls and spoons. In those days, reporters would go to a pay phone and call the story in to someone on the sports desk. I'm pretty certain that if you looked back to the shortest story I wrote each season it might correspond with homemade ice cream night. Write right, write tight and get to the ice cream.

It was such a great event because players, coaches, parents and about anyone else who stayed around loved partaking of what was essentially a buffet of homemade ice cream.
