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!

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

***Schedule Changes have been posted to the blog and website. Please not we are making up the second rain-out on October 10th.

***Cones will be placed 100ft from all bags to take place of the painted lines. Umpires were saying they could not see the lines. When a girl is up to bat, Outfielders cannot start play in front of this mark.

***Dazzy O’s Bar and Grill is hosting a night out for all of our Softball Teams. The cost is $25 for all you can eat and drink. The date is not completely set yet but it looks to be October 10. As details become available we will forward them along. Please contact us for ticket, as this will surely be another great evening! Last season’s Softball Social was a huge success! Everyone had a great night!!!

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!
