Affton Police to Play Firefighters in Softball

When the St. Louis County Police play the Mehlville Fire District in Softball next weekend, whom will you root for?

Come catch a friendly softball game between the St. Louis County Police and firefighters from the Mehlville Fire District.

The South County Chamber of Commerce is hosting the softball game for the first time at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 29, at the Gateway Grizzlies stadium in Sauget, IL.

The real question is, where will Affton-Shrewsbury Patch's loyalty lie? Police officers from Affton's third precinct will play in the game, but the Mehlville Fire District covers portions of Shrewsbury and nearby neighborhoods. Looks like PatchΒ will have to cheer for them both!
