The Insider salutes the 2015 Chelsea Lob Ball Champions Tianos
led by manager and free style artist Jorge Luis Anthony
Great Team and Jorge is a great guy. I may not like free style anymore, but I have to admit Jorge is an excellent singer. The music to the brief team highlight video below is his very own freestyle song "Time for You to Go"
Recently Major League Baseball honored every team's top four Mount Rushmore of players
and that got me to thinking why can't we do that in Softball? But instead of players let's do a Sb Mount Rushmore of Softball Managers. My Franchise Four Softball Managers are:
Franchise Four Softball Managers John "Championship Manager" Sheppard, Juan "Blonde" Moreiars, Dio Jackson and Bob Morrello
My criteria for these manager were:
Played under for more than five years
Knowledge obtained
Championship Pedigree
Charisma and Entertainment
Upon their selection I interviewed Sb Mount Rushmore skipper for his reaction. Enjoy
Where Do Blogs Come fromis a cool Old School posting of mine from 8 years ago that came across my mind today. Whenever I haven't written in a while I like to go rewind back to older topics to see if they can be rebooted or reopened. However, there is a danger in that as sometimes I feel like all I ever do is find different ways to word the same, old blog.
For example, I wanted to do a rebooted on my hardcore baseball vs softball swing blog from several years ago. I even interviewed my original interviewee John Cordero
Good interview, as John is an excellent line drive power hitter whose hitting opinion I value, but something was off and I decided to scrap the blog. I needed something fresh, or so I thought.
It's too late to start that blog over, but not to late to learn, Lately a lot of softball rage is gone and now I'm frozen cause there's no more emotion for me to pull from. The Truth is scrapping that blog was just an excuse, I was afraid to write the same old boring blog. You can't be afraid to fail. Some postings suck and you gotta take the criticism when people rub it in your face and learn from it. I guess it's like being a good player.. you keep plugging away because you know it's your only outlet and you care about it.
The best thing to rely on right now is my enthusiasm for the game and combine it with my bizarre outlook on life. In other words, Just balance my damn self and "Stop Giving a Fuck". That might mean recycling the same, old blog sometimes But I'd rather make "ModCare 2" than quit.
Pat sent out the following thank you message last night Friends of Philly Joe, On behalf of Joe's family represented today by his niece Gina and grand niece Sylvia I want to thank you all for sharing in this moment of remembrance. It was personally gratifying but not surprising to see so many of you on this beautiful summer day. Joe had a New York family as well as a Philadelphia family and we joined together today to insure that he would always be a part of the ball fields he loved so much. Rest in peace, Joe, and enjoy the games. Pat True Class.. B/C it's More than Just a game Legends Never Die
