14 dirtbags showed up to Huguenot Little League to see if the field were playable. They were, so this is what transpired:
2 foul pole to foul pole runs to loosen up, then COP with various exercises meant to keep our hands dry and then it was time for the main show.
3 swings (not pitches). Make them count. Anything other than a fair ball over the fence is an out. Given the numbers, we had a second round with 2 swings. We had 6 HRs in total in the first round and 4 in the second.
This year’s winner (with 2 HRs in each round) was NTB – a newcomer taking the title from YHC. Honeymoon, Warby, McRib and Rosie each launched HRs in round 1 and McRib and Rosie double-dipped with a HR each in round 2.
YHC took the bagel along with everyone else, although I think I may have won the Exit Velo competition with my last hit. Turns out you need both Exit Velo and Launch Angle for a HR, right NTB?
Warby and Snuff put on stellar defensive shows. Nothing like EF Hutton’s HR robbery of last year, but good enough to get on YHC’s list for the F3 RVA Softball team should there ever be one.
Great fun. Well done guys. I know the rain kept people away, so YHC will look for a late July date to run this back! I’m waiting for NTB to let me know when he is out of town. Maybe McRib and Rosie too!
Welcome to Bow Tie (McRib’s 2.0). We stuck with the food theme for the family but we missed the obvious name – Riblet. Thanks for coming out Bow Tie.
No announcements – we almost forgot to circle up. YHC was too depressed.
Until next time, No More Gumbo For You.
