but I don't need him to bless me because in real life I already am:
In Softball I am also blessed to know many people who have made me a better player and person
"You were always determined to be better, do better , play better. The drive has been your biggest asset and it has Paid off big time ." .. Lou 22 .. on me.. ridiculous compliment.
I still feel there is more, I guess that's a blessing too.
The Spitfires have won the Sunday Morning Bum Rush Championship.
Their squad this year was legendary with Ang, Jrod, Howie, Greg, and Eriz as they became softball god like
On the season they earned the top regular season record as their pitching was paced by Greg and Mickey. Their playoff run was softball god like as they won two hard fought best of three series
Semi-finals they outlasted Asylum in best of three series 2 games to 1.
Finals they overcame a 0-1 series deficit in dramatic fashion. In game three, they were down 1-0 in the 6th inning until Howie (Bums Rush League rookie) and Mickey delivered two clutch two out singles in the 6th inning to pace a 4 run rally en route to a title clinching 4-2 win.
Excellent.
The Insider Salutes Mickey Peckins and Sandy Zinn
who captured their 3rd Central Park Championship in 5 opportunities this year. That's a 600 Championship batting average - Hall of Fame softball Gods stuff. Well done and congratulations.
Ridiculous team effort as all I can say is that everyone on my team helped us win. Everyone.
That is truly Old School.
It was my privilege to lead our little dysfunctional modern family.
Thank you guys for putting up with all my Crazy shit
The insider would like to salute and acknowledge a great champion as Choice Parts with players like Sandy Vic Miranda Jrod etc they defended their title to the very end. True Warriors.
with the and this year we will be doing it again. Cancer is relentless and does not discriminate and we are going to do something about it right now, this year as the
Tournament Start Time: 8:30 AM on Saturday October 17th Inwood Hill Park
We have all lost to Cancer. I hate losing and I hate this dreadful disease. To fight back we have to be relentless and this is my way of doing something about it. My Charity is CRI:
I carefully selected this charity because I wanted one that used a large percentage of donation dollars to fight Cancer and, more importantly, they are trying to prevent Cancer using Immunotherapy, That's smart and forward looking.
In baseball/softball we use stats to measure performance will check out CRI's impact player statistics:
In the fiscal year (July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015), CRI committed more than $29.3 mil. in new funds to accelerate cancer immunology research in 14 states, 7 countries, 41 institutions. The awards include:
26 postdoctoral fellowships for young scientists who are bringing creative new insights and perspectives to the fields of immunology and tumor immunology
13 Clinic and Laboratory Integration Program (CLIP) grants, which provide two years of support for transnational laboratory investigation
7 Clinical Strategy Team grants that will fund preclinical research necessary to generate innovative new combination immunotherapy clinical trial concepts
4 Clinical Accelerator trial grants, including:
A phase I/II trial of intratumoral immunotherapy & checkpoint blockade in cancers
A phase I/II trial of a small molecule inhibitor or a vaccine, in combination with checkpoint blockade, in lung cancer
A clinical trial of immunotherapy following autologous stem cell therapy in multiple myeloma
An addendum to the phase I/II trial of an anti-PD-L1 antibody and a novel TLR8 agonist in ovarian cancer
Cancers researched include
bladder
brain
breast
cervical
colorectal
cutaneous
T cell lymphoma
head and neck
kidney
leukemia
lung
lymphoma
Merkel cell carcinoma
melanoma
multiple myeloma
ovarian
pancreatic
prostate
skin
sarcoma, and
uterine
CRI scientists are shedding light on some of the most important questions in cancer immunology, including:
the targeting of new immune checkpoints,
imaging of the tumor immune microenvironment, immunosuppression and its part in the cancer immunity cycle,
macrophages and their role in cancer immunotherapy, and
the role of the microbiome in cancer development and progression.
Something is being done to Stop Cancer and we are going to help them with this event.
