This year, we also hope to make a gift in Rob's name to The American Diabetes Association.

Booty Call = Practice Bat

In the real world, you have a girlfriend/wife, but many true "playas for life" have a Booty call on the side. Where the Term "Booty Call" is used when someone calls another person to come over just for sex.... calling for booty.

In the softball/baseball world, many "players" have their gamer for live action
but also have a practice bat on the side
but that's not where the similarities end ......

Top Ten Ways a Booty Call and Practice Bats are similar.

10. By their very nature, both are Abused, can take the Abuse, and like the Abuse
9. Girlfriend/Wives and Gamers are seen in public, Booty Calls and Practices bats are not
8. You don't care if you lose either b/c they are easily replaceable
7. Both have dents that you overlook for the immediate satisfaction of the moment
6. You try new things with a booty call and practice bat that you wouldn't otherwise try in real life or with the game on the line
5, Both are good outlets for built up frustrations and aggression
4. You are not emotionally or financially attached to either
3. You keep both on the down low until you really need them during non peak hours
2. Both can be habit forming - some good, some bad

and the Number One Ways a Booty Call and Practice Bats are similar

1. You don't real need them but you like to have them around just in case you hit a slump

Me Llamo Eric Brown

The following long ass boring video isn't exclusive TMZ footage of Buddy Holly still alive and pitching in Central Park.


No it's my friend Eric Brown on the hill. Eric doesn't get enough love in softball as he has always been a class act, good pitcher, and fearless competitor. More importantly, any day you get to see and talk to him in the park is a good day in my book. Awesome guy.

On a insider softball note, the only thing cool about that wack video was the Spanish message delivered by the insider on how to get on the blog. Break out your Spanish dictionary if necessary.

SB Susan B Anthony

Wikipedia is the shit. Before researching this blog, I thought Susan B Anthony was the 1st woman to vote and that's why she got a coin named after her that nobody used. Man I was wrong. Susan went through mad shit in her life.

• She actually died 14 years before passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.


• She was a prominent American civil rights leader who played a pivotal role in the 19th century women's rights movement to introduce women's suffrage into the United States.
  


• Incredibly she was arrested by a U.S. Deputy Marshal for voting illegally in the 1872 Presidential Election. She was "drum head"style convicted and given a $100 fine, but not jail time. At her bullshit verdict she stated "I shall never pay a dollar of your unjust penalty", and she never paid the fine for the rest of her life, and an embarrassed U.S. Government took no collection action against her. That trial backfired on the US as Susan's courage and belief in her rights only grew stronger.

Softball has its own version of Susan B Anthony

Elizabeth "Liz" Burbach

9 leagues!!!!!!!! Love it - keep playing girl - Susan B Anthony would be proud.

A Better Class of ...

One of my favorite quotes in the classic comic book nerd movie "Batman the Dark Knight" is from the great late Oscar Award winning Actor Heath Ledger who while portraying the Joker said "This Town deserves a better class of Criminal and I'm going to give it to them"

Unfortunately, many leagues I play in deserve a better class of umpires and I'm going to give it to them. Today it is my pleasure to recognize Darren Delgado who I worked with this afternoon in blazing hot Prospect Park. One word for this guy - PROFESSIONAL. If he lived any where near Inwood I would have hired him on the spot as he is a Top notch official. You see good umps who care exists.

Darren Delgado ... clearly a better class
