July is - as usual - a down time for sports on the national and local scale. It’s more than a month away from the high school sports season and weeks after the end of the NBA and NHL season. It’s the dog days of the summer. It’s nothing new or old. It just is. But in this region, the month of July is certainly a point of pride. With the lack of sports going on and kids home for the summer, Little League, Babe Ruth and - in the case of Morgan Hill - Pony baseball has taken over. And with all of the success of those leagues in the three cities - specifically in Hollister - it’s easy to see why exactly that is.
