8 Man Win - Always blog worthy

of my 8 man softball game history occurred. I improved to 4-1 overall while playing with 8 Men as today's victory belonged to the proud and resilient Old School squad
The other team started with 8 players as well, but added two members to strengthen their ranks. To compound matters they had a hard throwing slinger on the hill and jumped out to an early 3-0 lead.

But that's when Old School put into action the Old Skool motto of "If you want something done right you gotta do it yourself" by rallying for 7 runs and doing some serious softball multi-tasking. Manager Jimmy Meyers played pitcher, 2b, and catcher all at the same time time and softball teamwork was used on this short handed day when outfielders helped infielders chase down a runner in a run down play and get out of a jam. It was a true team effort.

That's the way you do it - Old School

  9. I felt like death that day! If Ricky didnt have gatorade,i might have been buried at home plate!
    I want any lawyers out there to know that CENTRAL PARK doesnt have the water fountains working and if i or anyone else faints or dies out there to get a law suit against the city!

    The 3 Monkeys have a good pitcher, around the plate and throws hard. They get 10 guys to game they might shock teams.

    Thanks Jimmy B!

    @Benji: if i bring 8 vs you and win then your whole team losses face and i think a few might commit suicide! haha J/K Cya soon!

    Tony is there to get on other teams nerves!!! :)
    Im hoping 1 day he realizes to use that powder on other team, blow it in their face when they are about to hit or field a ball!!! :)
