Humblest apologies for the tardiness of this email. Here’s a protip: don’t ever give anyone a heads up you are going on vacation, so they don’t get a chance to ask you to get things done before you head out. I learned that one the hard way. Sadly, my vacation means yesterday was my final regular season game of the year. I’m leaving you in Justin’s very capable hands for the last two games. And I trust you’ll show him the respect you never got around to showing me.
Last night’s game saw us score 16 runs in the 5 innings we played before darkness set in. A whopping three players made their softball debut, by the way. And all three of them went a perfect 2-2 at the plate. So a big thanks to Ryan for his offensive contributions and nice catch in left field to start the game, to Brian for his dogged insistence on being different than his brother by wearing a glove on the other hand, and to Adam for being a much better pitcher than I was. We had fifteen people play last night, so I won’t take the time to single every person out. I do want to make sure everyone knows of Seamus’s dedication. Not only did he come out and play immediately upon his return from vacation in Portugal, but he dragged his wife out, and he reserved the field. Thanks to everyone else who played: Andrew, Emily, Justin, Steve, Kurt, Natasha, Amanda, Grace (who someone managed to fit in yoga before the game), Angel (thanks for driving!), and Bonnie. And thanks to everyone who brought alcohol, we had a staggering amount of booze on hand.
(Oh, and I’m not mentioning defense because we apparently decided not to employ it last night.)
We have the tournament this weekend. And best of luck for the final two games.
I’ll have an end of season wrap up when I get back, but I wanted to make sure to thank everyone for a fantastic season. I can arrange all the games I want, it doesn’t mean a thing if nobody shows up. We had thirty-eight different people get in a game this season so far, and I’ve lost track of how many people have asked about the season or wished us well. So thanks for the interest, and I hope everyone has gotten some fun out of the games or the write-ups.
And just like last year, we’ll figure out an end of season happy hour. Stay tuned for more details.
