It may not be the biggest trophy we’ve ever won, but it’s the one with the important word on it… Champions. After playing in this tournament for 20 years and finishing second the last two years, we finally won it all on August 4th, 2007. The championship team went 5-0, beating the Love Gloves, Alary’s, Had Our Shots and the Capitol Offenders (twice). We had timely hitting, but it was the defense, led by Johnny Rothman, Gus Liepitz and Rebecca Apel, that continually demoralized our opponents with spectacular plays in the field.

Our other entry in the tournament started off by beating Explosive D, a team that went a long way in the loser’s bracket, before succumbing to the Capitol Offenders and OBB’s.

Having two teams in the tournament was another first for us. Thanks to everybody who came out to play. I hope you had fun. Running this team has been an honor and a pleasure for me.
