First a trick, then treats for Aces
Alexandria lost the Aces, its collegiate summer league baseball team for a day, anyway.
On April 1, the club sent out a note to all email subscribers that, because of “the development of a great situation” the team became the “Arlington Aces.” April fools.
The team remains in Alexandria and on June 3, the night before opening day for the team, the organization will hold a “Meet the Aces Night” at the Dairy Godmother in Del Ray.
