Not looking back anymore only forward.

My Father went down one year ago today.



Respected him more in last 7 years of his life as he fought cancer like a Warrior.I will fight Cancer any chance I get. Hopefully, I don't get it - but anyway Fuck Cancer.

Not looking back anymore only forward.

Inwood Vibe: WolfPack Roars

Two hard fought last inning Wins Had the WolfPack Roaring to the 2014 Citysoftball Morning League Championship



WP Manager Nellie proved the fallacy that catchers don't matter wrong as he made great defense plays and then started the winning rally as he came up with a lead off single with the Pack trailing 6-4 in the top 7th inning, The Pack would go on to score 4 times thanks to an Ivan's two run single


to take a 8-6. However, Old School with two outs scored one run and loaded the bases only to fall short 8-7.  The WP had taken game one. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

In game 2 the score was 2-1


 with the bases loaded and one out when a fly ball was hit to Right Center


the throw was on the money, but Old School couldn't hold on.



Inwood Legend Will made Old School pay by then lacing a two run single to cap a 3 run bottom of the 6th rally to clinch the title


The League and Old School



congratulates Classy Inwood legend Georgie,




Nelson, and the entire WolfPack Team


on a well deserved Championship

Classy Bennett Avenue

I grew up on 44 Bennett Avenue in New York City

and ironically I got the following classy complement from Central Park Legend

Bennett Beckenstein

"I just want to thank Ricky and company for a tremendously run and greatly enjoyable Inwood fall league. I feel I've found a home here. Good vibes, the softball gods are pleased. Best of luck next week. Should be a great final."

Thank you Bennett

Sometimes me and Lochness ask "Why do we do this shit for a bunch of whiny ungrateful MF's" and then someone like you writes something like that.

Very classy.

You have the love

Inwood Vibe - Silenced by Mother Nature

The Weather was wet and raw all day Saturday and the Inwood Fields were a mess

the next day on a very cold, windy Sunday morning so all semi-final games were postponed a week.

However, that didn't stop Inwood Senior Management

from getting numerous, and I mean numerous, calls and text messages on Saturday about what to do on Sunday....from not only Managers but also league players

Inwood Fact: We Are Not God. We only worship the softball gods.

We are governed by 2 simple game cancellation rules:

• Inwood Rule #1: We don't cancel games Saturday
• Inwood Rule #2: We don't waste anyone's time unnecessarily.

Everyone knows that.


So why all the calls on Saturday? Let's Top Ten Analyze This

Top Ten Reasons Inwood Management Received numerous, and I mean numerous, calls and text messages on Saturday about what to do on Sunday from not only Managers but also league players

10. They were Bored

9. Scared about forfeiting or losing players tomorrow

8. Scared that if Sunday got rained out that they will be forced to stay home all day Sunday and watch the Jets. Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

7. Scared about forfeiting or losing players tomorrow...hmmmmm

6. Softball Stalking and Control Freaks by nature

5. Scared about forfeiting or losing players tomorrow - I think I see a pattern forming

4. Wanted to know if they could get their drink on all night and not worry about waking up early on Sunday.

3. Scared about forfeiting or losing players tomorrow - When I start getting Weather.com hourly reports from managers I know they are worried about being short tomorrow.

2. Building Drama

 and the #1 Reasons Inwood Management Received numerous, and I mean numerous, calls and text messages on Saturday about what to do on Sunday for not only Managers but also league players
