G.D. Newsletter "Sure To Entertain" 13th ed.

Alright, alright easy with all the emails. I need a day or two, to organize my thoughts from the deluge of stimuli taken in each Wednesday night at Glory Days Sports Dodgeball League. For those members new to Glory Days Sports, the G.D. Newsletter "Sure to Entertain" has created quite the "cult" like following! Without exaggeration, I have counted at least 7 different [let's call them Groupies], propositioning me by email. I feel like a rock star of some sort. Kind of like "The King of the Keyboard" (pulling more tail than Elvis ever did). Okay, so maybe it's not exactly "tail" I am pulling but can't a married guy with 4 daughters dream a little? All joking aside, most weeks, I will get the G.D. Newsletter out Friday or Saturday during the Dodgeball season. No need to send the dozen emails, asking "...when will it be done already...", creating more pressure on me.

Week 2 of Glory Days Sports Dodgeball League: It was Awesome!

Now to the games:

1. In our porno match, Gags On Our Balls slaps around Balls Deep. 10-3

2. Foul Balls starts their double header (you have a dirty mind) strong beating Big Ballers. 9-4

3. The Sloppy Hairless Chihuahuas bite the Ball Busters. 10-3

4. Sweaty Balls drip (I mean drop) the Sea Sheppards. 8-5

5. Ballz On Your Jawz choke out the Submissive Vikings (oops Vicious). 8-5

6. Pink Panthers are able to straighten out the Foul Balls. 7-6

All of the matches were were extremely exhilarating! The pace of play is so fast and hard it is difficult to take notes of all the drama occurring. It was certainly a lot easier writing witty nuggets of wisdom for the Glory Days Sports Coed Softball League or the Glory Days Sports Wiffle Ball Tournament, than it has been for the Glory Days Sports Dodgeball League. Just click on these couple write ups to witness the excellence of penmanship. The one with the Tea-bagging Umpire (a fan favorite) or the one with Mr. Happy Our Wiffle Ball Champ (our biggest Tournament to date). They were absolutely awesome. I think you all can help with my dilemma though.

I need a little more theatrics from all of you. That's right Dodgeball is not just a game to win or lose, it's a stage to express yourself! I will be grading the teams each week on creativity and originality. What am I looking for, you ask? It is very easy. Just wow me! That's right Wow Me (or send over the groupies)!

Right now, Balls Deep is leading this category. They have come each week with their headbands and their knee pads, sporting the look straight out of Dodgeball The Movie. This team of snot nosed college kids put on a great show. Don't mistake their yelling at the refs as a competitive nature, it's all part of their master plan. To be chosen, "Most Entertaining Dodgeball Team" at the end of the season. They could care less about wins and loses; as reflected by their 13 and 22 record. Keep up the good work Balls Deep and don't worry, if you mix in a win or two from time to time, I will not hold that against you!

So remember, Wow ME!

***Rules Further Explained***

1. A clean block is a play in which you use your dodge ball to block the thrown dodge ball of your opponent. You must maintain full control of your ball (do not drop it or you're out) after the ball is blocked. You must not allow the thrown ball to hit any part of your body, only your dodge ball. Also, the blocked ball remains live until it hits the ground or such. That means if it is then caught by your teammate, the thrower is out or if it hits you teammate the teammate is out. Just remember that the blocked ball remains live.

2. The Referee Fee of $10 must be paid prior to the start of the game. The referees have been instructed to NOT start the game until both teams have paid. That will save us from chasing teams down after the game. Thank you.

***Updates***

Join us all at Applebee's on rt 561 (cut right through the movie theatre parking lot) for after Dodgeball Cocktails and Grub. Glory Days Sports is currently in talks with Applebee's on cutting a deal for us Dodgeballers every Wednesday after the games.

G.D. Newsletter "Sure To Entertain" 12th ed. **The Start of Dodgeball**

Glory Days Sports newest attraction, Dodgeball was under way and in full force on Wednesday night at The Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees. The evening began with a Captains Meeting just off the court where all the excitement was soon to ensue. During this meeting of minds, (some of the most creative people in South Jersey, well creative with their team names that is) captains were introducing themselves to each other with some small talk but mostly anticipatory stares. If looks could kill, I am not sure everyone would have made it out of that room! I did though, over hear some chatter that was very interesting and must be reported. It went something like this...

"Hi how ya doin I'm Ed of the Ball Busters." "Oh, hi I am Matt of Balls Deep. Nice to meet you." Then Ed leans over whispering to his co-captain Kelly so Matt doesn't hear, "Balls Deep! That sounds like it really hurts!" Ed entering back into conversation, "Say Matt, where did that team name come from?" Matt grimaces then points and says "That's a question you should ask them." His finger menacingly pointing towards Adam and Jim, team captains of Gags On Ur Balls. "Hey Adam, what's with the deal with Balls Deep?" Adam gargles "argh argh argh." Ed leans back to Kelly and whispers again, "Oh, I see. Poor guy."

Glory Days Sports management quelled the tension by starting to go over the league rules and player expectations in regarding referees. This went on for a few minutes. As Mark DeNafo of GDS wrapped up his speech, all eyes peered at the clock. Everyone was now bubbling with excitement as the clock read 7:00 pm; Time to get started.

Everyone rushed out of the room and headed straight to their respective court. All of the refs individually called together their two opposing teams, went over a couple more things and then surprisingly Bruce Buffer of the UFC falls out of the sky and exclaims, "LET'S GET READY TO RUUUMBLEEEE!" Wow, Bruce Buffer kicking it off! Glory Days Sports really knows how to get things started!

Unbelievably awesome, fast paced action was the story of the night. Was it the adrenaline rush for the start of the first ever Dodgeball League in South Jersey? Or was it the perfectly chosen setting of The Flyers Skate Zone after months of research by Glory Days Sports? Probably, a little of both mixed in with teams comprised of players that are some of the finest athletes in all the land! I mean that! Did you see the players of Sweaty Balls? These guys look more like NFL Linebackers. All of them about 6'3" with bodies tighter than the lips of the Sloppy Hairless Chihuahuas (the opponent of Balls Deep on Wednesday night of course).

The evening could not have gone any better. It appeared that every single person involved had smiles on their faces. Running around, dodging, ducking, diving...it was AWESOME!

We look forward to an amazing first season with everyone. Please bring the same excitement every Wednesday.

Until next time...this is Jamie Connor signing off!

***Rule Changes***

1. A neutral zone will be implemented starting week 2. During the "rush" at the start of each game, players will now be required to retreat back after grabbing a ball, to the neutral zone line (it will clearly marked and explained before the start of the next games) before throwing at your opponent. This line is only in play during the "rush". Once a player returns back to this line play resumes as before.

2. More official games will be played each night. Instead of the 9 games per night we originally had, we will now be playing 13 games per night.

3. "Pinching" is illegal. The act of squishing or squeezing a ball excessively before you throw it. A referee will use their judgement and call you out, if you are seen Pinching a ball.

***Updates***

Glory Days Sports newest leagues are forming soon:

Winter Mens Basketball League will start in early February.

Season 2 of Dodgeball will start in late February.

Spring Coed Softball will start in April.

G.D. Newsletter "Sure to Entertain" 11th ed.

Week 2 of Glory Days Sports Coed Softball Fall Season was awesome! Do you know why? It did not rain!!! After 2 rain-outs in the first 3 weeks, everyone started the day off happy to get some games in. Not everyone left after their game (or the spectators seats; tongue-in-cheek) so happy though.

One local guy was watching the second set of games with a couple of his amigos. They must have been knocking a few cervazas back, when Rosco Pico Train rolled up! Rosco impounded their vehicle and arrested the most inebriated of the bunch. Let that be a lesson to all you drunkards out there (definitely not team “Here For The Beer”).


Now To The Scores:

Games 1 & 2
Buttermakers lose two to Title America. 12-1 and 22-9.
Highlights- Chrissy Kalani of Title America writes: Strong bats from newbie’s Rick Watson and Carmen Midili along with veteran Kim Brodbeck who went 2-4 including a double. Yea girl power! (Hey now) Yea that girl power continued with a hot bat from Kellie Adamucci in the second game; and her husband Ricky and brother Mike Earling continue to beat the crap out of the ball. Wow they must of took lessons from Kellie. Alicia of the Buttermakers writes: Kyle almost went the cycle, missing a homer by *this much* Nick made some fabulous (love the word fabulous Alicia) catches out in the outfield. Both (ours and theirs) the 3B's made some fantastic plays out there. Thank you Chrissy and Alicia!

Game 3& 4
JM & Sons drowns Dazzy O’s “Here For The Beer” 19-5 and 17-8.
Highlights- John Miller of JM & Sons rebuts, I mean reports: Last week’s G.D. Newsletter states we have some semi pro players. We won both of our games last week against the Buttermakers with absolutely no semi pro players! (you and everyone else John) This week both Brian and Dan had inside the park Home Runs! Tara was great, she went 7 for 8 on the day! Jonelle of Here For The Beer says: ........ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! (Jonelle was hung over and did not make either game) Thank you John and uh Jonelle kinda!

This commercial break is brought to you by Glory Days Sports Newest Tournament: Kickball “Kickin it Old Skool” on October 24 at Winslow Calabrese Fields. This is sure to be an Awesome Event! Sign Up Now!

Game 5 & 6
Dazzy O’s “Team Awesome” win two tight games against Burlington Blazers. 8-3 and 9-8.
Highlights- Megan of Burlington Blazers writes: 1st game we started off with a couple errors in the outfield that wound up costing us some runs. Team Awesome led by great defense and key hitting, was able to handle us 8-3. Amidst all the excitement in the game, there was one spectator (one of the 3 Amigos) that didn’t have quite the great day. He was arrested on the scene when the police arrived for apparently being intoxicated. Hope things work out for that guy. 2nd game was a different story. Defensively the corners were great, turning two and picking everything out of the dirt. Offensively 3b bob betler started the game with a 2run double and later had a 2 run inside the parker. jessica bienick pitched a great game, but when it got late the strike zone seemed to shrink. (it happens to the best of us Jessica..usually guys though) Walking a number of batters late led to team awesome to go up by 2 and winning by 1 on a play at the plate to end the game 9-8. Flipper of Team Awesome text’s: Dustin was awesome today. (thanks for elaborating Flip!)

Game 7 & 8
TriState held off Just Us. 8-3 and 14-12.
Highlights- I was playing in these games so I will be doing the reporting (well I actually sat the first game…I kept telling myself to be a team player and keep my big mouth shut…look what happened to the last second baseman). These 2 games were highlight by 1 unique play and 1 unique 1st baseman. The Play: 2 men on (1st and 2nd base), 2 out, bottom of the 7th inning, perfect game on the line, the ball is hit right back to pitcher Mark DeNafo. He scrambles to retrieve the ball, stumbles, bumbles, fumbles to grabs the ball, under hand tosses it to third base. He throws it completely wide. The ball hits the fence and 2 runs score!!! Ok so the details may all be exaggerated or completely wrong but you get the idea…an under hand toss to the fence for Pete’s sake from about 10ft! The Player (Ron “Angelina Ballerina”) 1st baseman for Just Us: He does an actual split (I mean balls in the dirt split) on every single throw to first! From a runner just getting out of the batter’s box to to a runner turning to come back to 1st..he doing the split on every catch, close play or not! When you play Just Us next, ask Ron to do the “Balls in the dirt” for you, it is most entertaining!

Updates:

***Please continue to email over highlights and lowlights from your games. Mostly everyone is doing a great job! Also, the earlier you send them over the earlier we can publish the Newsletter. Thanks again

G.D. Newsletter "Sure to Entertain" 10th ed.

Warm greetings to all new and returning players of the Glory Days Sports Coed Softball Fall League! Glory Days Sports would like to welcome three new teams to our league: Burlington Blazers, JM & Sons Landscaping, and Just Us. We would also like to thank returning teams Dazzy O’s Team Awesome, Dazzy O’s Here for the Beer (formerly Green Monsters), The Buttermakers, and TriState (formerly LawnKrafters). Good luck to all and remember we are all here to have fun!

That being said, this (The G.D. Newsletter “Sure to Entertain”) is one of the venues we have huge amounts of fun with. We will continue to write a weekly recap of the games from the prior week. This recap will include any highlights and low lights that we witness or are given information to. I personally invite as much information from all team captains, all players, all spectators, and even umpires; as this will only make the writings more interesting and compelling to read for all. Just email those thoughts, scores, high and low lights to glorydayssports@gmail.com. Thank you in advance!

Week 1 of the Glory Days Sports Coed Softball Fall League was absolutely awesome! One newcomer team was surprising some and other newcomers felt the wrath of the Spring League mainstays. Some teams can add new players or change their change their team name (rather eloquently so, might I add) but a leopard never changes his spots. One team seems to have found the “Fountain of Youth”, one found (payed off) some Champions, and luckiest of all TriState found me!


Now To The Scores:

Games 1 & 2
Buttermakers lose two to JM & Sons Landscaping. 21-0 and 4-3.
Highlights- Team Captain, Alicia Buttermaker chucks her team scorebook after one of several disputed calls (nice throw but please make note GDS only provides 1 score book to teams per season). Plan B: JM & Son’s Landscaping has stocked their team with a few ex-pro and semi-pro players. I guess knowing all the umpires (Plan A) was not enough. One player in this game (remaining nameless, only because we don’t know it though) hit an awesome triple, then on the very next play runs to the plate to score a run! Rules…Rules…Rules…go to the bag or your out.

Game 3& 4
Title America double up on Just Us. 14-13 and 23-9.
Highlights- After the long anticipated start to the Fall Season, Frank Adomaitis of Just Us appears to have broken his finger on one of the first plays of the season. We hope you are felling ok…soooo are you hurt or are you injured, the rest of your team wanted to know. Carmen Midili and Ricky Watson bring that much needed (let’s just say youthful energy) to Title America. The mercy rule was needed to end this debacle in the second game. Look out folks Title America is looking rather “fresh”!

Game 5 & 6
Dazzy O’s “Here for the Beer” welcomes Burlington Blazers with a sweep. 16-1 and 11-9.
Highlights- The Green Monsters change of their team name to “Here for the Beer” is rather apropos. Their MVP on the day was Catie Scardino for turning 4 double plays (sounds freaky to me)! Gilligan and Galletta (sounds like a Law Firm) each hit an in the park Home Run. Ashlee Galletta continues to be one of our leagues most outstanding players ! ***Burlington Blazers did not forward any comments and my game was at the same time on the other field. Please note this will happen to 1 game every week and I could use all the help I can get with some information. Thanks again.***

Game 7 & 8
TriState and Dazzy O’s “Team Awesome” are the only split on the day. 29-22 and 5-7.
Highlights- Matt DeNafo and Jamie Connor (commissioners) make their debut memorable for TriState. Right from jump street Jamie was pissing off people by stealing the second base position from teammate Alex Gordon! Next, Jamie lets a routine pop up drop right by his head, without even getting a glove on it (pissing off their extremely, intense pitcher Mark DeNafo)! Conversely, Matt DeNafo was stellar at third base and at the plate…hitting the most unheralded home run ever! No one even noticed! Jamie’s second baseman counterpart Kendall Patton (that’s right, a former ARH player from the Fall League) was as hot as ever Saturday! She also played well, catching anything hit her way and hitting the hell out of the ball…right down the third base line every time, for future reference. Kevin Curcio (also a former ARH player…I see a trend forming) started off as Awesome’s pitcher but was yanked after letting in just a couple of runs…must not be pitching to Team Awesome’s standards. Awesome also scored a Heggan (about half of the ARH squad was Heggans) this season. They did though think they were getting Spring League Standout Ricky Heggan…sorry Flipper, Ricky will be back in the Spring of 2010…collecting his players too, I am sure!

Coed Fall Softball Schedule

G.D. Newsletter "Sure to Entertain" 9th ed. 1st Annual "Backyard Classic" Wiffle® Ball Tournament

On Saturday Glory Days Sports
hosted their 1st ever "Backyard Classic" Wiffle Ball Tournament. This proved to be an AWESOME event and will be held annually for all to enjoy.

The day began with teams filing in around 9am to register. The early chatter overheard at the registration desk was all about the setup of the fields. 9 Wiffle Ball fields setup with everything from Backstops, Strikeplates, Fully painted foul lines and infield lines, to the Home Run fence complete with the yellow Foul Poles! 8 Fields for all of the games and 1 Home Run Derby Field, sprawled uniquely over a 4 acre piece of land. The L shape land design wrapped tightly with trees all around allowing for wind protection too. The huge castle park playground, directly adjacent to the registration desk, never lacked children running and playing throughout the day. The HotDog guy ended up selling out of all of his goodies (hotdogs, soft pretzels, water ice, several varieties of drinks) by early evening too! A lot of work from Glory Days Sports really paid off BIG!!!

After registering, teams started claiming fields for some early practice. That is when they first experienced the sound of the now famous "Strike Plate" design by Glory Days Sports! A Wiffle Ball thrown as a strike would hit the "strike Plate" and let everyone know (fields away) of that batters ineptitude! We have been told, players would later hear this wildly loud sound in their sleep all night. While hard to put in to words, the sound falls somewhere between 2 Mack Trucks colliding and the implosion of Veterans Stadium! It was extremely loud, somewhat high pitched, and extraordinarily memorable.

The next unbelievable audible energy experienced, came from field 5 during warm ups. ARH (our Spring Coed Softball Champions fielded an awesome team of 5) was taking batting practice, when all of a sudden "PING"! Heads jerked from one end of the acreage to the other. All gawking towards field 5. Then again, "PING"..."PING"..."PING"! Players rushed the registration desk, asking about the legality of that bat. ARH was sporting an aluminum bat! Completely legal, this bat is manufactured by Wiffle and shows ARH is serious and has come for only one thing...1st Place!!!

As play progressed all the buzz was about some of the younger players that entered the tournament. We had a squad from Medford, if you added all their ages together, they may just be equal to that of say a Tom Daddazio (these kids were awesome though)! Atco Fence and The Hammonton Allstars both had young players that put others to shame too. An ex-minor leaguer by the name of Dom Raio couldn't even crack his own team's lineup due to his team's young fellow. Pappy's Pupils, consisting of the other elder statesmen of our tourney (Chris Caprio), pitched for an amazing bunch of disciples. They made it all the way to the semifinals!!!

When the smoke cleared, only two teams remained standing, the behemoth ARH and the wiffle gurus of SJ Hazmat. This was no surprise to anyone that played either of these teams throughout the day. ARH (Champion of Glory Days Sports Coed Spring Softball) cherry picked captain Ricky Heggan, bombers Gregg Silvesti and Rob Vetesse, Johnny Walker Jones and the little known Chris Ezzi. We believe almost the entire team pitched throughout the day but Heggan and Jones were spotted between every game sanding their wiffle balls. These guys were serious I tell you!

Unfortunately not serious enough! Serious is the understatement of the year when witnessing the master piece of a Hal Mitchell performance! This dude stared daggers at every batter, all day. I watched one player spontaneously combust under Hal's gaze! At no point, did he crack a smile or enjoy a moment of the entire day. I promise you he was all business! Just look at his picture above with his trophy!

Trophy??? That's right SJ Hazmats outlasted ARH under the tutelage of Hal Mitchell, Dave Mitchell, Chris Hunt and Mitchell Young. These guys play Wiffle Ball every Saturday in Hal's backyard! Correction: SJ Hazmat play Wiffle Ball in Mitch Young's backyard every Saturday not Hal's. Rumor has it, they all have the Hazmat symbol of 3 wiffleballs tattooed on each of their butts too (the left cheek of course)!!! Thanks for the exclusive information Nick Gargano!

Congratulations SJ Hazmats...1st Annual "Backyard Classic" Wiffle® Ball Tournament Champion!!!

Until next edition...this is Jamie Connor signing off!

Wiffle® Ball Tournament

Attention All Wiffle® Ball Tournament Teams!!
All Teams Must Report to PTLM Daniel Calabrese Memorial Park 37 North Central Avenue Cedar Brook, NJ (Winslow Township) by 9:00 AM

G.D. Newsletter "Sure to Entertain" 8th ed.

The first week of playoffs for the Glory Days Sports Coed Softball league was... you guessed it- Awesome! Awesomely boring!!! Not one upset. All of the favorites move on and join ARH in round 2.

Speaking of ARH, did anyone notice Kendall Patton and Tony Burton scouting The Green Monsters on Sunday! Don't worry, while they were watching you, we were watching them (pictured above)! Taking this seriously are we? ARH is the real deal! I am personally placing an "all in" bet that they win it all come Sunday!

Very risky prediction you say? Maybe I am not going out on much of a limb here, (who am I kidding, this "limb" is more like a tree trunk, an oak tree trunk) but do remember, one of my partners at Glory Days Sports is a pitcher for The Lawnkrafters. He has personally assured me ARH will not have a cake walk if they play each other in the championship! Go get them Mark (sorry for that forward looking statement Team Awesome and Green Monsters)!

Now To The Scores:

Game 1

LawnKrafters use the mercy rule to finish The Blue Jays season 16-1.

Highlights- Guy of the Lawnkrafters was starting all kinds of trouble with Glory Days Sports best behaved Carty brother! Chris Carty, please flush your roster down the toilet and rename your team for the Fall Season (name suggestions: Resurrection-"The team that's back from the dead", Blue Balls-"your team never seems to get off", Redemption-"you guys have a lot of reconciling to do"!

Game 2

Team Awesome trounce the Buttermakers 19-4.

Highlights- Other than a dropped ball in the outfield by Nick Gargano, there were no issues with the Buttermakers (go figure)! Just kidding, we are looking forward to the Buttermakers playing this Fall...just replace that Gargano character (Nick not Jamie)! Oh and no metal cleats in the Fall too. Courtney Fernandez of Awesome will do anything to make the G.D. Newsletter...this week she steps in front of a train (a base runner) and gets railroaded! Knocking the wind out of her for several minutes! Flipper pulls her from the game...then starts making moves on her, on the bench! Good luck Mr. Anderson!

Game 3

Green Monster stay hot against Title America (score was not reported).

Highlights- The Green Monsters stay white hot! Moving Forward to a rematch of last weeks drubbing of ARH in the semis. Look out Ricky, Kendall and company here they come again (yea right, ARH smokes them in the rematch)! Title America, what can we say? Your team was a little make shift at first. Piecing together many parts. Most of your games were close and well played. We can't wait to see the addition of some YOUTH for your Fall League team. Anyone under 40 will be a big help!

Updates

***Glory Days Sports Coed Fall League Registration Ends August 15th! Teams returning so far Buttermakers, Title America, Dazzy Os, Lawnkrafters, Blue Jays (or some form of them), ARH???

That's at least 7 teams already!!!

Until next week...this is Jamie Connor signing off!

G.D. Newsletter "Sure to Entertain" 7th ed.

Week 7 of the Glory Days Sports Coed Softball...that is usually how Jamie starts the Newsletter, than he goes on to right something “Clever and AWESOME”. This week, Jamie must have been overwhelmed with scooter rentals because it is now Friday afternoon and still no signs of a newsletter. But what a week it was in Glory Days Sports Softball, I am still wiping the sleep out of my eyes from the “late night” games!

The Green Monsters flipped Glory Days Sports on its head the last week of the regular season! Not only did they show up 45 minutes late to their first game and throw the rest of the games out of whack, but once they finally got to the field they brought their “A” game! With the upset of the season!!! That’s right the SEASON!! The Green Monsters take out ARH and taints their perfect record and then goes on to take out #2 Team Awesome! The BJ’s are still trying to find there “rhythm”, Team Awesome isn’t so “Awesome”, LawnKrafters make a move in the standings, ButterMakers should try horseshoes cause they “almost” won and Title America didn’t look like they were taking any Titles anytime soon!

NOW TO THE SCORES:

Game 1

ARH LOSES to the Green Monsters 14-6.

Highlights- Green Monsters found their bat bag and ARH’s kryptonite at the bottom! Does there really need to be anything added to ARH LOSES under highlights?? Nothing against ARH but who doesn’t love when the underdog wins!

Game 2

Title America tie against Buttermakers 10-10.

Highlights- Yes, a tie! Ties suck but unfortunately we don’t have all the time in the world to play nor do the umpires so no winner at the conclusion of this game, just a tie. A hard fought game by everyone with a little controversy over the same rule! It was stated in the June 9th Newsletter that there would be NO foul to burn. That is the rule period.

Game 3

Lawnkrafters drops the BJs to their knees 13-1.

Highlights- The “Bash Brothers” Adam and Alex from the LawnKrafters each round the bases with Homeruns! Betty makes a stellar play at home plate for a double play. Brian Pino fights global warming with a huge whiff to cool everyone off!

Game 4

Green Monsters continue their giant swatting by beating Team Awesome 10-9.

Highlights- Readings by Flipper is wrong again! Flipper was overheard predicting a Team Awesome victory over the Green Monsters, which was about as accurate as the Heaven Gate’s / Hale Bop Comet prediction. John Sherwood takes a walk with bases load to get a 6 run rally started for Team Awesome, nothing like a STRONG walk to get things going. The rally wasn’t enough to beat the Green Monsters they were still on fire from beating ARH!

Game 5

ARH gets back to business and beats Title America 16-1.

Highlights- Even with Ricky taking it easy on the bases (Anyone that has seen Ricky run knows that he can at least make it to 3rd base on a shot to centerfield, in this game it was only a double!). ARH still managed to rack up 16 runs. Maybe it was to make up for a previous loss to the G.M.? Title America fought hard even though they only had 9 players; maybe they were just strategizing for next week’s playoffs.

Game 6

ARH beats Team Awful (Yes, after having to watch this boring game and your second loss of the day I have renamed the team more appropriately) 14-4
Highlights- Team Awesome was completely falling apart at the seams. John “the rally starter” Sherwood could do nothing but pop out with his mouth “full” this game! Dustin brought the circus to town and put ARH on the Merry go Round for most of the 5th inning with about 30 walks. Meanwhile ARH brings back there super human strengths. Even after waiting around for just about every game ARH shows no signs of fatigue as Kevin Curcio pitches a stellar game brushing off the frustration of their loss to G.M.. Kendall makes a diving play at second and throws out Nello of Team Awesome. Courtney Fernandez…well we just wanted to put her name in the newsletter!!

***Updates

The Coed Softball Fall League looks to be a huge success as well. Glory Days Sports has confirmation from 5 teams already and almost a 6th. The Final Payments for the Fall League is Due AUGUST 15th!!

G.D. Newsletter "Sure to Entertain" 6th ed.

Week 6 of the Glory Days Sports Coed Softball...(that is usually how I start the Newsletter, than I go on to right something Clever and Awesome). This week, I have to admit, my attitude toward writing the Newsletter, has not been Awesome (as Awesome as typically so anyway). I have come up with a great analogy to explain the circumstance I find myself in.

The "drug dealer and the crack addict". The drug dealer provides entertainment, at least initially to the "s00n to be" addict. Then somewhere along the line the addict no longer looks for the entertainment, they just need a fix. They do nothing but think about the drug itself all the time. This is when the dealer begins to feel huge amounts of pressure to continue to be able to supply the addict...the many addicts that he has created.

To the many G.D. Newsletter addicts out there, here is your fix! Don't make me cut you off.


NOW TO THE SCORES:

Game 1
ARH smokes the Buttermakers 21-7.
Highlights- Not only did Kevin Curcio of ARH knock a HR over the fence but he also pitched an Awesome game (to all the Buttermaker women that is)! He refused to give the guys of the "Bad News Bears" a pitch to hit. To K.C. and the rest of the Sunshine Band, we are catching on to your strategies!

Game 2
Highlighters out shine Title America 14-7.
Highlights- The dance party that Team Awesome put on before the game! Vince and Brian also hit back to back HRs off our leagues finest pitcher! Chrissie I do believe they are figuring that high arch out...time to switch it up a bit!

Game 3
Lawnkrafters take the Buttermakers out to the wood shed 34-1.
Highlights- Brian Pino pitches a gem (only 1 run allowed)! Nick Gargano of the Buttermakers (also our partner at Glory Days Sports) played a stellar 3rd base! SYKE! Balls were eating him up all over the place...from what I gather anyway!!!

Game 4
Lawnkrafters continue their daily onslaught, this time against TnA (Title America) 15-6.
Highlights- Bo Jackson makes a guest appearance at short stop! He not only made a brilliant diving catch in the field but ran up the wall (the Back Stop) after every run he scored (that was several, he told me personally)!!! Scott McBrearty is not only there for your entertainment but he seems to be hitting the hell out of the ball too!

Game 5
Green Monsters shutout the Blue Jays (your team name will no longer appear in bold, you do not deserve it!) 14-0.
Highlights- Benny and the Green Machine's major highlight was reading the schedule! Pitcher of the Green Monsters, Tony mocks the BJs with his hard hat and overall "Village People" look (pictured above)!

Game 6
ARH completely roll over the BJs (how about Dazzy Es in bold instead...e for errors that is) 27-2.
Highlights- Gregg Silvesti hits 2 more bombs over the fence! He then proceeded to remind fellow teammate Ricky Haggen about them on Facebook a couple of days later. Ricky rolled his eyes and clicked the "like this" button; to humor Gregg of course. Then writes me in private and asks me if there is anyway to get this, "...lime-light stealer off my team! I am supposed to be the gosh darn Phillie around here. Look at my baseball pants damn-it!" Sorry Ricky, he is all yours! How does second fiddle sound?


Updates

*** The Coed Softball Fall League looks to be a huge success as well. Glory Days Sports has confirmation from 5 teams already and almost a 6th. Teams returning include Title America, Buttermakers, Lawnkrafters, and at least one Dazzy Os team. 1 new team from the men's league prior to our games on Sundays will also be joining us. ARH is almost set to return but just wants to make sure they can win the Championship again (sorry, a bit of foreshadowing there).

*** Sunglasses were left on ARHs bench after the game. The may have been from the game before, as Roger of the Green Monsters was seen donning a pair of feminine glasses.

*** Rule Clarification (the Kevin Curcio Rule)
-the umpire will use his discretion, on the pitchers intent, when walking a guy batter immediately before a girl batter
-if ruled intentional, the girl batter will then have the option to take 1st base or swing away

***Do not forget to preregister for the Wiffle Ball Tournament to receive a FREE T-SHIRT! Follow the link above for further information.

***Moving Forward Rentals (Segway Rentals and Tours of Sea Isle City) is also like a drug dealer! Segways are very addicting...click the link above to find out why! Sorry for the shameless promotions guys!!!

Until next week...this is Jamie Connor signing off!

G.D. Newsletter "Sure to Entertain" 5th ed.

Glory Days Sports week 5 games were…well not so Awesome for some! Like the LawnKrafters for instance, they had two huge games against teams on either side of them in the standings. Take a guess how they fared. How about the enigma of a team, Blue Jays. They play almost every game tight but just can’t put together some wins. The Green Monsters looked more like the “Bad News Bears” than the Buttermaker (everybody’s favorite team).

With all those losers, someone had to be winning! ARH, Title America, Buttermakers and Team Awesome all went undefeated on the day.

Another winner on the day was Sharon DeNafo (pictured here). She now knows everything there is to know about this umpire. “His positioning is im-pecker-able” says Sharon! After the game, the umpire exclaims, “That catcher has some soft hands!”
**We kid because we love you both! Thanks for the great photo**

NOW TO THE SCORES:

Game 1
ARH cuts the LawnKrafters 15-7.
Highlights- Johnny "Walker" Jones of ARH leads off the day with 3 walks! This dude loves our league so much he fly’s in every Sunday from North Carolina…North Carolina and didn’t even take the bat off his shoulder! We also had another swinging Strike Out, this time by Adam of the LawnKrafters. Thanks for coming out Adam!

Game 2
Buttermakers finally win one against the Blue Jays 9-6.
Highlights- Tim Carty of the Blue Jays, returning from a one game suspension (given to him by his own team) goes 3 for 4...3 for 4 but for the Buttermakers! The Buttermakers were short a player, so his team ever so easily traded him over. Poetic Justice for you Tim…keep up the good work!

Game 3
Team Awesome smokes the LawnKrafters 11-6.
Highlights- Team Awesome thought the rule was a 2 guy minimum for this one. 8 girls was all the LawnKafters could handle! There is still a search for the sniper that shot Kori of the LawnKrafters. While running for a ball in the outfield, she collapses blowing out her shoulder and leg. Her boyfriend had no problem getting to that ball though. Oh yes, he would like to make a public apology for stepping on Kori while she writhe on the ground in pain!

Game 4
Title America hold off the Green Monsters 14-7.
Highlights- Chrissy Kalani with another masterful game at pitcher for Title America, this game she gives up no walks. She sure is a little competitor! I mean big (sorry I slipped). Dave Moderski of “T&A” goes 3 for 3 and then recruited after the game by the Green Monsters for the Fall Season. They love those sweat pants Dave! Speaking of uniforms what was with Ted of the Monsters…dressed for a fashion show with all those wristbands and those J-Lo sunglasses!

Game 5
Team Awesome play the Blue Jays 12-8 (you guess who won).
Highlights- The Blue Jays another game close. Keeping the scored tied at 5 late in the game. Again to no avail though. I have to say the Blue Jays are the best last placed team in our league! Captain Flipper Anderson of Team Awesome says this win is owed to Lynnel Fernandez, “She outplayed her sister Courtney again!”

Game 6
ARH beat up the Green Monsters 11-5.
Copa Joanna (a Fan Favorite) of the Monsters DNP due to “large balls” on her thighs. She did keep great notes of the game. Dave Gilligan make another amazing diving catch in the outfield. Yes, Johnny "Walker" Jones (our Frequent Flyer) makes another guest appearance! This time with 2 more walks! Moving Forward Rentals (Segway Rentals and Tours in Sea Isle City) is now sponsoring Johnny for next week’s walk-a-thon. He should be able to raise thousands of dollars for a charity of his choice!


UPDATES

***Glory Days Sports asks for clarification to the rather unclear “banned bat list” from ASA and RipIt Reaper. Here are the specific answers from the bat manufacturer. The first bat was made illegal to ASA so they made a new bat that meets certifications. Here are the differences between the 2 bats results:

*The ASA legal RipIt Reaper bat has a yellow outlined Skull facing the end of the barrel of the bat.
*The ASA illegal RipIt Reaper bat has a green outlined Skull facing the handle of the bat.

Remember, the reason for the banned bats are strictly for the safety of your fellow players.

***WiffleBall Tournament registration is now open!!! You have to read the next post below. This is definitely going to be an awesome time!

***The issue with the umpire on field 1 has been addressed with his superiors.

***The Fall Softball League begins August 29th. All teams will play double headers each week. We are shooting for approx. 10 games for each team. Registration is $600 per team. Save your team spot now!

***http://www.glorydayssports.net/ is now up and running! This is our new official website. You will find everything you need here. Check it out and let us know what you think. It is still evolving to meet all of your needs!

Until next week...this is Jamie Connor signing off!

G.D. Newsletter "Sure to Entertain" 4th ed.

Glory Days Sports week 4 games were AWESOME!

Before we get into the games let's recap how week 3's Newsletter played out. 1st- I pour my heart and soul into writing and being as creative as possible until after midnight on Monday. 2nd- The 3 other members of Glory Days read it, get nervous that it is too provocative and pull the picture. 3rd- I actually receive a voicemail being berated, cursed, and threatened! 4th- I update the newsletter to make all pantie wastes feel better!

Now, to start this week I am changing the tagline from "Sure to Entertain" to "If You Lack a Sense of Humor...Don't Read Me"! All kidding aside, this Newsletter is just written to have fun with everyone...no one excluded! We specifically asked all teams if they had an issue with it or if anyone personally has an issue with it. To a man (and woman) we received nothing but rave reviews and asked us not to change it one bit. So without further adieu....


NOW TO THE SCORES:

Game 1
NKOTB (I mean ARH) is in town and rocking the Buttermakers 13-3.
Highlights- It would be easy to get on Ricky for sliding in to home (he just forgot he was no longer on the Phillies and this is Coed Softball), so we'll just say he was a single away from hitting for the cycle.

Game 2
Green Monsters eat up the Buttermakers 9-5.
Highlights- After another 0 and 2 day, the Buttermakers are really living up to their name!

Game 3
LawnKrafters out last Title America 8-3.
Highlights- LawnKrafters bench their starting pitcher (Mark DeNafo) and put in their ace in the hole Brian Pino! Brian pitched an amazing game...just ask him!

Game 4
Green Monsters lose a heart breaker to Team Awesome 12-10.
Highlights- The Highlighters left everything on the field for this one. (The previous statement becomes absolutely hysterical once you read further on to the "game of the day"!)

Game 5
LawnKrafters beat the Blue Jays 2-0.
Highlights- Sean Geary showcases his "strong arm". It is a shame second base is no longer in right field! Between the 2 games today, Sean (shortstop) tried to throw the ball 6 times to second...maybe you should stop trying to throw so damn hard and shoot for a little more accuracy Mitch Williams!

Game 6 (Game of the day)
NKOTB (ARH) absolutely annihilate, obliterate, eradicate or just ate Team Awesome 19-3.
Highlights- (refer to Game 4's Highlights for Team Awesome) The "New Kids On The Block" pounded the ball all game. With 3 Home Runs and countless other shots at the fence, (and a bit of foreshadowing) complaints will deluge the blog about Glory Days Sports not enforcing our "Steroid Policy" next. The ARH team is HOT!...(anyone know what a "double entendre" is?)


Updates

***Moving Forward, all umpires will follow ASA rules for foul balls. You do not get to burn one foul ball. A foul ball on the third strike is strike 3. (as per our rule book)

***The Wiffleball Tournament is already going to be a huge hit! Tentatively we have set it for Saturday, August 8th. A Cash Prize will be rewarded!!! More news to follow (hopefully we can submit the finer details by the end of this week).

***If you do not have a sense of humor you should not have been reading this (especially this far down, what if I was going to say something negative about you, then you would be all upset and be like, "I don't want them to make fun of me anymore" and we would have to be all like, "Stop whining" and like "If you don't like it you don't have to play in our league anymore")!

***Glory Days Sports Fall Coed Softball League is now forming! Get your team registered now! All games will be played on Saturdays. We will begin play either the last week in August or the first week in September. To achieve maximum games, all teams will play double headers every week. Spread the word!!!

Until next week...this is Jamie Connor signing off!

The Standings: Coed Softball Spring/Summer

G.D. Newsletter "Sure To Entertain"- 3rd ed.

Week 3 of Glory Days Sports Coed Softball League was really awesome. By the looks of the picture to the right, some of us would not have missed it for anything (even a bathroom break). That is just fine by us...just not right by us, if you know what I mean.

***AFTER FURTHER CONSIDERATION (AND SOME ARM BENDING), GLORY DAYS SPORTS HAS JOINTLY DECIDED TO CENSOR THIS PICTURE TO PROTECT THE ANONYMITY OF THE INNOCENT. MOVING FORWARD ALL G.D. NEWSLETTERS WILL BE WRITTEN IN A STRICTLY POSITIVE AND STATISTICAL MANOR. PLEASE CONTINUE TO FORWARD ALL TEAM STATS AND ALSO PLEASE RESPOND TO THE BLOG, AS WE ALWAYS WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE. IF I PERSONALLY OFFENDED ANYONE, PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES. IF I MADE YOU LAUGH, PLEASE FORWARD ANY GRATUITIES MY WAY!***

NOW TO THE SCORES:

Game 1
Title America loses their first game of the season to Team Awesome 12-4.
Highlights- Dustin smokes a Home Run over the fence...rumor has it, that it was a routine pop fly with 30 mph winds playing a big part!

Game 2
LawnKrafters barely edge out the Buttermakers 10-9.
Highlights- Jim Casey of the Buttermakers falls face first to the ground on a running throw to first base. Then gives me, my daughter, my niece and nephew, and pretty much the entire crowd the finger (for applauding his effort).

Game 3 (The afternoon rock concert)
Green Monsters beat the Blue Jays 9-6.
High Life (I mean Highlights brought to you by Miller)- John Sherwood of Team Awesome entices NSYNC to make a guest appearance for this quite game. While we do not encourage blasting the radio during the games, it would have been just fine if he had some kind of taste in music!

Game 4
Title America gives the now Bittermakers their second lose of the day by the score of 9-4.
Highlights- Guess who slid (fell) face first in to third base while knocking the wind out of himself...that's right this season's Fan Favorite, Neil Wetzel!

Game 5
ARH remains undefeated after beating the Blue Jays 10-2.
Highlights- The Carty Tandem with great individual performances. Chris swallows everything at short and Pop Carty records Glory Days Sports first ever Strike Out! Unfortunately for the Blue Jays, Ricky Haggen's aggressive approach at the plate also afforded him a 2 for 4 day with a Triple and 2 Runs and oh yes, The Strike Out.

UPDATES

*** Glory Days Sports has a 3 on 3 Wiffle Ball Tournament in the works for August!!! This is going to be AWESOME!!! 50 teams, 1 day, several official Wiffle Ball sized fields, first come first served! CASH PRIZE TO THE WINNER!!!

*** Metal Spikes are prohibited from use during all games. Some players have been wearing them and this must not continue. We do not want to see anyone get hurt from this. Thank you for your understanding.

*** The Coed Softball Fall League will be forming soon. We anticipate a late August early September start. The schedule will be accelerated to get as many games in, in as short of a span as we can. Form your team now!

*** A special thanks goes out to Tommy Daddazio at Dazzy Os Grill and Bar for hosting a Softball BBQ on Saturday evening. We had a terrific turn out and everyone had a great time. If you did not make it, What did you have to do that was so damn important?

Until next week...this is Mark DeNafo signing off!

***ALL G.D. NEWSLETTER ARE WRITTEN BY ME, JAMIE CONNOR. THE ABOVE STATEMENT WAS A JOKE BETWEEN MARK DENAFO AND MYSELF. THANK YOU AND KEEP READING!***

G.D. Newsletter "Sure To Entertain"- 2nd ed.

Week 2 of the Coed Softball League for Glory Days Sports began rather ominously. Over night rain and morning drizzle forced the cancellation of the 11:30am game between ARH and Title America. The rest of the day's schedule put Glory Days Sports management to the test. The "grounds crew" rose to the occasion, by ridding the fields of all puddles, dragging the fields with the tractor, raking all bases and batters boxes, and repainting all lines. All the hard work was worth while, as the rest of the day went off without a hitch.

NOW TO THE SCORES:

Game 1

Team Awesome starts off their double header with a shutout against the Buttermakers 5-0.

Highlights- "Flipper" leads the troops to victory, but then refuses to email over any team stats or highlights from the game. Sorry Team Awesome, see your captain... but nice win.

Game 2

Title America doubles up on the Blue Jays 12-6.

Highlights- Rick Adamucci, Kelly Adamucci and Mike Earling of Title America combine for a 5 for 9 day, while scoring 7 runs and hitting 4 RBIs.

Game 3

LawnKrafters (leaking oil) barely edge out the Green Monsters 16-15.

Highlights- Glory Days Sports needs more information on the Green Monsters energetic catcher! She was by far the MVP for her squad, with stellar plays at the plate and at bat!

Game 4

Team Awesome destroy the Black and Blue Jays 21-1.

Highlights- Had it not been for playing Team Awesome (Tom's team), Tom Daddazio would have pulled Dazzy Os sponsorship from the Blue Jays for such a dreadful outing. Instead, the Blue Jays all got a FREE ROUND back at the Bar.

Game 5

ARH engineers a victory against the early favored LawnKrafters 8-7.

Highlights- Both Ricky Heggan and Kevin Curcio combine to go 5 for 5 with 2 singles, 2 doubles, and a triple! LawnKrafters deeply missed the big, "old" bat of Jim Gagliardi in this match-up!

UPDATES

*** No games are scheduled this Sunday. Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend!

*** A glove was left at the fields on Sunday. If you lost your glove, please contact Glory Days Sports and claim your mitt (specify what brand it is please, we want it to go back to the rightful owner)!
