    OPENING OUR 14TH SEASON Issue # 138 NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA APRIL, 2006 Zephyrs Season Helps Bring Sense of Normalcy By Bill Catalanello ot quite as Big, not nearly as Easy: that’s our hometown these days. If you live in New Orleans area, you’ve gone through an Noff-season like no other. If you’re a baseball fan from the Crescent City, you’re probably ready for some hardball right about now, and not the kind played by the insurance companies. The 2005 season never had a proper ending, as most in the area, including the Zephyrs, fled ahead of Hurricane Katrina. The team embarked by bus on the final road trip of the season. The rest of us scattered to the north and the west, anywhere away from the destruction. Most of us were away from Signs of the times: home for at least weeks while the city drained and The Zephyrs’ new scoreboard (above) services were slowly restored. The 2006 season begins begins to take shape. with optimism and the spirit of rebuilding. After the Afternoon shadows during a spring storm, the Zephyrs pledged early and often to stay and play in their home town and take part in the Tulane baseball game (below) reveal rebuilding effort. Some residents have completed the skeleton of a roof in progress repairs and rebuilding, some are still very much in the process, and some have not even returned to the New Orleans area. The disaster touched everyone living here, but to varying degrees. For those of us in the rebuilding mode, anything and everything that resembles our pre-K normalcy is a welcome sight.
