• I know this is probably as impossible to find as a needle in the grass but yesterday evening my 7 yr old daughter left behind her special softball bat at Guenser Park in Torrance and is extremely sad about that.
  I’d thought I’d post just in case anyone might have found it or hear of anyone finding one yesterday. I sound crazy I’m sure but championship games… (Nextdoor Harbor Gateway North)
