Furthermore, as Cal Ripken approaches Lou Gehrig's mark of 2130 consecutive
games played, the Homers's very own Tim Ohm set his own record by playing in
8 games over the last 4 days, 5 of which were played with the temperature
over 100 degrees.

The batting order for the Homers was Jeff (1B/2B/CF), Ron (P/SS), Monica
(2B), Don (LF/CF), Richard (SS/CF/P), Doug (C/1B), Holly (3B), Dave (RF/SS),
Amy (CF/SS), Beth (franchisee/OF/3B), Xuemei (debutante/C/OF), Sue (C), and
Tim (LF), who showed up in the fifth to keep pace with Ron in the race for
M. Homer, the version based on attendance. Holly and Alan, the newest
biped, cheered. Afterward, Richard, Don, Jeff, Ron, and Tim hit California
Pizza Kitchen to discuss the big move.A team member pointed out that the Homer home run contest is tearing apart the team. In the interest of team unity, Richard, feeling contrite over his second home run in which he never stopped running on a ground ball up the middle, consequently vowed not to over-run in Homer blowouts; however, he will also not give that one up. So in the final accounting, Richard will still have hit two home runs against the Gravity Fielders while Don and Ron hit one each (nananana nananana heyheyhey goodbye). The other offensive star of the game was Beth, making her first appearance since week 3, who got hits in all three of her at-bats.
Defensively, Tim had the play of the day in the last inning. With the bases loaded and the Gravity Fielders trying to come back from Jerry-land, the Gravity batter hit a deep fly to left field. Tim, having positioned himself halfway between home plate and where Don usually plays in left, turned, sprinted, and caught the fly backhanded, fully extended, and over the shoulder. Monica also made two nice putouts at second base and nearly completed the rare 6-4-3 double play.
Our next game is TUESDAY, August 22, on field H3 of the Rose Bowl against Plan 9.
