The algorithm to determine the winner:
number of regular season games attended
if tied, irregular season games attended
if tied, lowest sum of order of appearance at regular season
games
if still tied, order of appearance at irregular games
Order of appearance also pretty much determines: 1) each game's batting
order,
2) the order of sitting out defensively,
and 3) who gets sent over to the other team if they don't
have enough. Note: the payment of team fees counts as an irregular
game.

As summer starts it's slow transition into fall, you can always count on
a few things: the temperatures in Pasadena typically reach some of their
highest levels for the year, the kid's and teacher's thoughts turn to a new
school year, Robb's and Kim's thoughts turn to a new NFL season, real
football fans thoughts turn to a new college football season, and the HOMERS
and Voodoo Toad Fury clash in the finale of JPL C-league softball.
Yes, this is it for another season, and unfortunately for the HOMERS
it ends on a slightly down note.
HOMERS 2 0 5 0 0 1 4 12
Voodoo Toad Fury 2 11 0 1 0 4 x 18
Despite the final score it was a good and fun game for all involved.
These two teams have played each other so many times over so many years
it is hard to tell whether either team trash-talks the opposing team, or
its own team more.
Offensively, the HOMERS were held homer-less, though just about everyone
got at least one hit. We managed to put together a couple of rallies in the
3rd and 7th innings, unfortunately they just were not quite enough.
Defensively, the HOMERS played a very tight game, if we just ignore the second
inning. Richard had a good defensive game, including being responsible for
every out of the 5th inning. He made some good throws to 1B and made a couple
of good attempts at throwing out runners at home. This game also marked Ron's
return off the DL to end the season on the field.
The batting order and defensive line-up for the game was:
Jeff C 1B 1B - OF C
Scott OF OF OF C - 1B
Kim 2B 2B - - 2B -

Dinner was held at Round Table with Jeff, Scott M., Ron, Sue, Kim,
Richard, Annette, Eric, Rene, Scott S., Mary, Jon, Shannon, Becky, Sofi,
Danny, Bella, and Robb participating.
During dinner there was some discussion of a possible end of season party being planned so stayed tuned for details.
HOMERS management (myself and Richard) wish to thank all of the HOMERS for
another fun season and look forward to playing with you all again next year!
From: Don Calkins
The week beginning Aug. 15 was a week of pain. Bad enough that the
stock market plunge added years to our projected retirement dates but
things really got ugly when the Titans drubbed (Drub - verb 1. Hit or beat
(someone) repeatedly. 2. Defeat thoroughly in a match or contest) the
Homers soundly. Fortunately, there are a finite amount of innings/game
and the beating came to an end. But, even "losing softball" is better
than "no softball", so it was still a fun game.
First, special thanks to Jose, Tony and Tyler for coming to our aid
when Jeff raised the call. I think Annette deserved the game ball with
a heads up play at catcher to pick off the runner at first, a good catch
of a fly ball to right field and a stop of a hard grounder at second.
The lone burst of power came from Andy with a monster home run in the
first inning. Jeff pounded the ball then entire game - almost hitting
it out of the infield once or twice. Don had a bead on monster fly ball
to center and overran it a little which forced a turnaround (never a good
thing on a fly ball) and ultimately failed to make the catch. If I
remember correctly Austin and Mary were hitting the ball well. And Joe
made a couple of good in the outfield on fly balls.
I don't know who went to dinner - who could eat after going through that?!?

As I am not very creative with these reports I will hopefully not cause
any narcolepsy to my teammates as they read this report. Narcoleptic
tendencies at games, however, are not my fault, but may have account for
the score at the last game with the Wild Turkeys winning with 18, while we
had 9. A lack of players probably didn't help either with Ron still out
due to his previous injury and Don suffering from a mysterious foot injury
that occurred when he was sleeping, or so he says. However Ron was still
there to field manage and Don showed up in his work duds and possibly more
importantly his bats. We promise Don that we see you for more than just
bats. Austin took up the challenge and helped fill in for the lack of
male players with a really nice catch in outfield and some solid hits.
Austin, hopefully your future career choices will land you at JPL because
I don't think you'll have any other choice now that we know you can play.
Richard did something in the 2nd inning, but I don't know what DP means so
I don't know if it's of any significance or not.

The HOMERS (12-3) fell in a nail-biter to the Paper Tigers on Monday,
in a game that will surely be remembered by, well, probably just me, thanks
to the massive matching bruises on my shoulder and my head.
The HOMERS never completed an inning with the lead, but that didn't stop
them from battling. Nothing had been decided by the end of the 3rd inning,
but the HOMERS left a blank in the top of the 4th allowing the Paper Tigers
to pull away 9 to 6. A 4-run rally in the 5th was matched by PT's own 4-run
rally, so the HOMERS stepped things up a notch in the top of the 6 to take
a precarious 15 to 13 lead. With the bases loaded and two outs in the
bottom of the last frame, the Paper Tigers were chasing 1 run when a
massive swing led to a less than massive hit that just barely reached the
wood chips in RF for a ground rule double to win the game.
HOMERs Highlights include:
- Richard leaving early for a B League game, where his team managed to lose
to a team that only had 8 players. Stay at Hahamongna next time, Richard =)
- Slim getting his bell rung by a 2-hoper at SS, which glanced off the top
of his collar bone and went right into his ear. For you kids watching at
home, it's better to field a ball with your glove than with your ear.
- Andy had a perfect day at the plate, with 3 single and a double.
- Daniel also had a perfect day at the plate, getting out in both of his
at bats =)
- Richard also had a perfect day at the plate, although this reporter
does not officially recognize it since he left the game early =)
- Mary, Jessica and Becky cleaned up in the no-dudes-allowed bottom of
the order, combining for a 7 of 11 effort while driving in 5 runs
- Slim connected with Scott for a 6U-3 double-play
- Slim made a Willie Mays catch in LF to rob an otherwise certain
Hahamongna-style home run with nobody on.
Of course the play that you all will remember, though, is the ball that
got by Slim down the line, which went for a 3 run homer =). Or perhaps
you'll remember his 2 errors at SS. Or the time he wore the ball in the
ear. Yah, I bet you'll remember that one. `Cause I keep bringing it up.
Ron did an excellent job field managing, except when he put Slim in the
outfield and Slim gave up that home run.
The HOMERS cheering section was comprised of at least Sue, Scott S.,
Sofi, Bella and Danny. Dinner was had at Round Table, and was to attended
by Sue, Ron, Scott M, Kim, Scott S., Sofi, Bella, Danny, Becky, Rob, Mary
and briefly by yours truly.
The next HOMERS game is on Wednesday, August 10th, 2011, vs. the Wild
Turkeys on Hahamongna North (dirt field). Let Richard or Jeff know if
you can't make it.
Before signing off, let me say excellent season everybody! I
unfortunately will not be able to make any more games this season, but I
look forward to seeing you all on lab, around town and certainly next
Spring. Best of luck the rest of the season!
From: Ron Baalke
Under the veil of an impending default of the government if the debt
ceiling isn't raised, the Homers went on to beat Double Mercry, and to
improve their season record to 12-2. The Homers took a small early lead,
but Double Mercy caught up, and the score was tied at 11-11 after 5 innings.
In the final two innings, the Homers scored 8 runs while holding the Double
Mercy scoreless, for the final score of 19-11.
Box score
HOMERS 3 0 5 2 1 3 5 - 19
Double Mercy 0 3 1 5 2 0 0 - 11
Offensively, the Homers doubled the Double Mercy to death, by lashing out
15 doubles. Slim hit the lone home run, a 2-run shot in the 3rd inning.
Richard, Don and Mary all went 4-for-4, and Don had 3 doubles. Andy went
3-for-3 with 3 RBI's, and Jon was 3-for-4 with 3 RBI's. Becky also went
3-for-4.
Defensive highlights included 2 double plays. The first was by
Slim by catching a pop-up and doubling the runner at first.
Richard got a similar double play in the 7th inning.
Ron missed playing a game in 5 years because of last game's calf injury,
but juggled the line-up. The Homers started with 13 players at game time,
but Slim, Andy and Karen left early, so were were down to the bare minimum
of 10 players the last 2 innings of the game.

From: Andy Kubasak
It was a bright sunny afternoon/evening as the Homers took the field
against the Goats. Right off the bat/bats the Homers took a lead and
never looked back. Homers by Ron & Andy helped the offense out a bit.
But the explosion for 22 runs was really sparked by the fact that every
batter had a hit, and four batters hit safely in every plate appearance.
At one point the Homers had 8 straight hits.
The Homers had only four innings to produce runs, as the last three
innings were played under double mercy. The Homers double mercifully
recorded an out in the first plate appearance of each inning to hurry
the team to Round Table.
Defensively the Homers were anchored by Annette, who recorded two
double plays, and in another inning recorded all three outs! Scott
recorded an out at first by sitting on the bag. Richard pitched well
enough to secure the 15 run lead (filling in for Ron after a scary tumble
on the base paths which robbed him of a triple). (Hopefully this report
finds Ron’s leg feeling much better). Final Score:
Homers 6 0 7 9 0 0 0 - 22

There is one correction to the Homers Report from last week:
It appears Bobbie did not join the crowd for the game. We are not sure
where Bobbie was actually, but Bonnie was there cheering us on.
From: Joe Jacob
This game was almost over before it started as the LA Radars struggled
to form a full team as game time approached. Perhaps the ominous
threat of Carmageddon kept the Homers' worthy opponents at bay? Just
as Carmageddon proved to be a non-event, this threat of no softball
game was also empty. Fortunately Becky and Jessica agreed to trade
sides for the day and the weekly summer softball game was on. Jessica
rejoined the Homers in the fourth inning as more Radars players
straggled in.
Ron opened the game with a big homerun that spearheaded a dominant
Homers first inning that put them ahead by a score of 8-0. The two
teams were quite evenly matched for the rest of the game as the final
score was 16-9.
Defensive highlights include Slim making an excellent catch in left
center field in the third inning by running in to catch a very hard
hit line drive. In the fourth inning, Mary backhanded a hard grounder
at 2B and mercilessly forced out a small child running from 1B
(bully!). Richard then fielded a hard grounder off of his chest and
threw to Jon at 1B to end that inning. Last but not least, Robb did
an excellent job as field manager. This reporter also recalls Becky
making an excellent catch at 3B, but it is not clear that should make
the Homers highlight reel since she did it as a Radar this time.

From: Robb Warren
2011 had been a year of successes for the Homers. These included both
on field success with a victory over the TOADS and only one loss to date,
but off the field as well with Joe and Bonnie's new entry into the "Homers
of the Future" club. So chalk it up to distractions, whether it be the
upcoming British Royalty invasion, McCourt-gate or Carmageddon, but the
Homers experienced their own Homergeddon with a loss to a small but
solid Titans team.
Homer defense was actually pretty solid throughout, although did not
exhibit any of its usual individually spectacular plays. With that
said, Richard did make two impressive (albeit slightly late) throws home
in an attempt to nail advancing runners. The offense did produce its
usual array of homeruns, with round trippers being hit by Andy, Tony,
and Jon. Ron, perhaps exhausted after taking out his aggressions during
pregame batting practice was 'homerless', however did manage a 3rd inning
triple. Scott and Joe were the only Homers to be perfect at the plate,
both going 3 for 3.

From: Mary Wittman
Like the old days when Babe Ruth was traded to the New York Yankees from
the Boston Red Sox. Or like when Hershel Walker was traded to Minnesota
Vikings from the Dallas Cowboys for 5 players and multiple draft picks,
this game also started with a blockbuster trade. Mary and Kim were both
redirected from the Homers dugout to the Double Mercy dugout.
In the first inning the Homers started with a vengeance. They were
successful in getting through the batting order and a little extra.
Ron went 4 for 5 with a single, 2 doubles and 1 home run. Other homerun
hitters were Becky with 1 and Andy with 1. Congratulations to all of you.
Jeff was successful with a couple of hits to the right side although Kim
made a great stab at one of them which left her with a bruised hand. Don
attempted to relive his glory days and shoot one over his teammates (now
opponents) head, only to hear it hit the sound of leather. Sorry Don but
you had so many successes over my head in the past. Other highlights
included Richard going 3 for 4 and Andy going 4 for 4, as well as making a
great leaping catch at shortstop. A big thanks to Kelly and Karen for
coming out in the heat and Don for letting his teammates (now opponents)
keep using his bats when they were getting hits.
Kim and Mary each had 2 hits for Double Mercy, not to mention a nice
welcome for coming over to the other side and a few laughs. We both
enjoyed our time and the new teammates on the other bench.
Because the score sheet only had the first 2 innings filled in I'm going to assume that you all played the same positions the rest of the game.

Trivia for the week: When did the Homers last beat the Toads?
Hint, from Plutarch's "Parallel Lives":
The Medes [Persians] made a sally against their mound and put
its defenders to flight. At this [Marc] Antony was enraged, and visited
those who had played the coward with what is called 'decimation'. That is,
he divided the whole number of them into tens, and put to death that one
from each ten upon whom the lot fell.
No, it hadn't been ten years since we last beat the Toads, but it had been
10 games. And while our all-time winning percentage against them is probably
better than 10%,
it's probably not far off. I'd be suprised if it were 30%.

Sue -------notes--------
Spectators: Sofi, Gabrielle, Daniel. Thankfully, Sue took copious notes,
allowing me to describe the play thoroughly and befittingly. The description
orients around people, à la the
ancient Chinese historian Sima Qian, leaving some poor future Homerographer to
piece together a time-oriented description.
- Ron continued his MVP-level year
by going 4-for-4, scoring every time, and hitting a two-out, three-run homer
in the 1st to keep the Homers close. At P, he fumbled one (two?) dribbler
out of perhaps 5 but snared a hard line drive from Louise to double off
Charlie at 1B in the 6th.
- Tracy subbed on 4 hours notice,
then went 3-for-4, with key hits in the 1st, which snapped us out of a
down-4, 2-out, none-on funk, and in the 6th, which got us to 2nd and 3rd with
1 out in a tie game.
- Becky, 5 hours after going home
sick, not only had the walk-off hit with one out to score Joe, but she also
had previously tied the game at 16 in the 5th. 3-for-3 with 3 spectators.
- Joe, sleep-deprived following
the birth of baby Kiriana on June 9, drove in Rich to tie the game in the
7th and scored to win it on Becky's hit, capping a 4-for-4 day. Joe also
reverted to heart-attack form on D in catching a soft liner to LF for the
first out of the 2nd.
- Mary succumbed to Jeff pressure
to put aside work for an hour and play until Shannon showed. At the game,
she went 2-for-2 and assisted 4-6 on the first two outs of the dreadful
3rd.
- Richard at SS threw two balls
too low for Rich at 1B to catch and at LC dropped Frank Picha's deep fly
in the 5th that felt like a game-ender, for that would have been the third
out with only 1 or 2 runs across. On the plus side, Richard drilled a
hard liner inside the 3B line that got past the LF for a big 3-run homer
in the 3rd and singled in Ron with two outs for a 3-run cushion in the 6th.
- Andy in his one inning at SS
assisted twice and caught one soft liner for all three outs. On O, he hit
the deepest ball of the day, a solo homer to L/LF for the first run of
the 2nd.
- Mary was able to return to work when
Shannon, as well as Becky, arrived in
the 4th, the cavalry to the rescue. Her bases-loaded hit in the fourth
scored Mary and tied the game at 9. At 3B, she caught a tricky, foul pop-up
to end the 6th
- Don and
Rich had the same game, quiet by their
standards, going 2-for-4, each with a huge double. Don's started
the 5th following the disastrous top half of the inning, while Rich's
came in the 7th with none on, 1 out, and down 1. His run tied the game at 20,
taking a bit of the pressure off Becky. Rich played for the Homers for the
first time in over two years.
- Rather than going in the tank, Jeff
pushed aside three mis-hit soft outs to lead off the bottom of the 6th with
a solid single, then scored to put us up 17-16. His biggest contribution may
have been off-field, where he and Richard scrambled to field a team
following two same-day cancellations.
- Jessica hit immensely precisely,
and if she had adjusted 30 degrees,
she might have gone 3-for-4 instead of o-fer. On the other hand, being
money on her commitment - on time, no drama, no qualifications - has
enormous, difficult-to-quantify value.
- Scott hit a bunch of atom
(Rainer Wolfcastle,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3ZoHhvQgjU) balls, the most painful
being the liner in the first that Seal at P speared.
Scott's lone hit, a 2-out, 2-rbi single in the 4th, put us ahead 11-9.
Our next game is Tuesday, June 28, on the grass field v Double Mercy.
Please let Jeff or Richard know if you won't be there. So far, no Scott,
Annette, Daniel, or Jessica.

A poor, shy wiener became the center of the World's attention recently.
First the unsuspecting wiener was photographed in an unassuming grey disguise
while attempting to hide from the paparazzi. Twitter carried the wiener's
photo the length of the country to Washington State. The normally reclusive
wiener was thrust into the spotlight. But a controversy raged - no one could
identify the orphan wiener - "who's wiener was it?". It wasn't Oscar's wiener,
nor was it John the Farmer's wiener, nor the wiener of Der Schnitzel.
Then the unsuspecting wiener got even more exposed on the internet, TV, and
radio - this time without the disguise...
The wiener was deeply affected, unable to stand up for himself in the
press. But the mystery was soon solved - it was Weiner's wiener. Weiner
stood up before the press and screamed "hack", "prank", and joked about
the poor wiener. Weiner eventually apologized for the flogging his wiener
had endured. Weiner quit his job to spend more time with his forlorn and
emotionally drained wiener. In the end, it was agreed that years of attention
would be required to bring both Wieners back to their former stature.
Finally, a wiener in a tight spot:

Amidst all of the wiener whirlwind, the HOMERs played a very close
game against the LA Radars.

Shannon 3B
Don OF

Jessica C/RF
Becky OF/3B
Daniel C/OF
Offensive highlights: Everyone got at least one hit. Ron hit a long 3-run HOMER.
Defensive highlights included both an errant throw to the plate and an
errant throw from the plate. A great putout at the plate that went
Andy-Richard-Jeff and a double play that went Annette-Richard-Scott. Also,
Richard caught a lot of line drives at short early in the game.
Dinner was at Roundtable attended by: Ron, Shannon, Jessica, Daniel,
Rene, Annette, Eric, Jeff, Richard, Scott, Becky, Danny, Sofi, Bella.
Next game is Wednesday against the TOADS on the South (grass) field in our

The Homers had previously outscored their opponents by an average of
8.2 ppg by scoring an average of 20.7 ppg, but on June 8th, the Homers
dropped to the Wild Turkeys 18-5. The Homers just couldn't seem to catch
a break, serving continuous pop flies to the Wild Turkeys. The game
started out close in the 1st inning, but the Wild Turkeys broke away with
7 runs in the 2nd. Three straight innings of 0 runs didn't help the Homers
on a gray and cool Wednesday afternoon.

From: Kim Steadman
The end of the world was suppose to be on May 21st but May 22nd dawned with
little fanfare. Then the May 23rd Homers vs Bruisers game arrived and the
first few innings had many Homer faithful thinking that the end had arrived a
few days late. In the 4th inning the Bruisers had to take a mercy out as
their lead over the Homers reached 10 runs. Homer errors combined with some
nice hits by the Bruisers contributed to the Earth shattering moment of Mercy.
The Homers offense woke up in the bottom of the 4th inning with 6 runs
and added another 11 runs in the 5th to take the lead. The hits were spread
around with every homer reaching base safely at least once during the game.
Scott, Don, Ron, Richard, Andy, and Joe all hit doubles but there were no
home runs for the Homers.
The top of the 6th inning began with the Homers clinging to a three run
lead. The Bruisers weren't ready to give up yet and started to claw their
way into the lead. With one run in and several bruisers on base, the batter
hit Ron with the ball. Ron hurried to find the ball and then racing towards
first he put a little oomph on his underhanded throw that had Scott reaching
for the sky to snag the last out and preserve victory for the Homers.

This week's game reminded me of something that happened in the news
recently, something incredible, wonderful, long-time-coming ---- but gee, I
just can't recall... something so well executed, surgical, stealthy, and
immensely satisfying. I have this image of the HOMER Team 6 helicoptering
onto the field, running the base paths and hitting their targets so well,
and then clearing out to our dinner carrying, well, I was carrying the
rather heavy score book... I just can't quite recall what it all reminded
me of!
Anyway, like I said, the HOMERS dispensed handily with the Crawdads by a
score of 20-8 in just 5 innings, because it was darn cold and we needed to
get outta there before some poor spectators froze.
The big innings for the HOMERS were the first and second, where they
brought in 9 and 7 runs respectively. HOMER player of game goes to Tony
with 2 HRs and a triple. Andy seemed on his way to hitting for the cycle
when he stopped at 3rd for his triple, just as the ball came in and smacked
him directly on the ankle; lesson: he shoulda pulled a Baalke and gone for
the HR. Richard also hit a HOMER for the cause.
Defensively, Mary made a nice play as catcher, getting the runner out at
1st in the third inning. Ron alll-most eked out a double play in the second
inning while playing short, getting the runner out at second and just
missing Speedy Gonzalez at first. I'm sure there were many other memorable
moments, but they need to be written down on the score sheet for me to
possibly remember them. Hint hint! :)

From: Andres Castano
It was the second game of the week. Despite that the homers were totally
tired, we managed to win the game. Big thanks to Kelly who subbed for us.
Despite the limited turned out, Andres, in his first 2011 appearance, was
happy to see the homers in good form. Although taking one inning to get
their defensive footing, the homers only allowed four runs to be scored in
the final six innings. Offensively, Ron scored the sole home run for the
homers in the first. Other offensive highlighs include two triples by Andy
in the 2nd and Richard in the 3rd, and Andres getting on base on every at bat.
Defensively, Andres leaped like a panther and caught an extremelly difficult
pop-up in mid-air; he felt bad about the batter that was doing her best,
though. The chaising of children prevents this reporter from remembering
any other offensive or defensive plays. Thanks much for the team effort
to keep an eye on all the munchkins.

Can I exercise the Daddy waiver and write a bare bones Homers Report?
If not, how about the first-of-back-to-back-games waiver? Like my
relentless, remorseless, time-devouring cutie pie back home, it is what it is.
And so many things have happened in the 5 days since our last game:
Michael Scott's leaving Scranton, the Royal Wedding, and oh yes we found
and nailed the biggest gaping aHole in our lifetimes. OK, I'll at least
rank them by awesomeness:
- justice served - it's too soon to be snarky about this
- Homers keep rolling -
JPL C League -> JPL Softball -> JPL -> NASA -> universe trembles
- the Office - the Homers are peaking in our 21st season, while nothing's
had me ROTFL since Dwight's fire drill 2 years ago
- British stuff - sheesh, three Homers have gotten married during their
tenures on the team, and you don't see us inviting Elton John and such
The Homers handily beat a good team, the Wild Turkeys, who have already beaten
our traditional nemesis the Toads this year. Ron crushed the ball for two
early home runs that put us ahead for good, and Becky, who's been swinging
beautifully, nailed one over all the outfielders as well for a big 3-run
homer in the 5th. Dave hit one to dead center that should have been a
triple, but with a 16-run lead and credit only for homers, he was sent home
and was thrown out by 15 feet. He did reach safely every other time, though.
Defensively, Jeff nicely and terrifyingly correctly adjusted to catch
Matt Gatti's slicing ball in the 4th. Richard had a good running catch in
the 5th. Becky caught a sharp line drive in the 6th. Andy at SS made every
play he was supposed to make including one tricky throw over the base runner
returning to his base for a line-drive double play.

Thanks to David Werntz and Tracy Carrillo for subbing. They needed the
swings in preparation for their first B League game the next day. Tracy
brought fans Scott and Brittany, joining stalwarts Sofi/Daniel/Gabriella
and Eric/Renee until dad Daniel showed to take them away. And old stalwarts
Sue and Matt gave their support as well.
Our next game is TODAY on field HS against the Goat Scouts, who can be
very good as well. If you're going to miss the game and haven't notified
Jeff or me yet, you are very bad and will be meeting bin Laden in heck -
nope, too soon.
From: Daniel Limonadi
Speaking of the Daddy waiver... here is the second in a series of
wimped out Homers Reports... asynchronous and late no less. Richard
beat me to the punch and wrote up Monday's game… don't be confused my
fleet footed and strong batting friends, this report is for the game on
4/27/2011 (way back in last week) when we played the Paper Tigers.
And what a game it was. Little did we know that while the humble
Homers were playing, in some small a corner of DC, folks were preparing
a briefing to the President on what we knew about the whereabouts of
He Who Shall Not be Named (oh wait, that was Voldemort, the bald guy,
this is crazy bearded guy Bin Laden, my bad) and what our options were
for taking him out. The very next day on Thursday a most excellent
decision was made, and carried out several days later by some very bad
a$$ Seals. Hooah to those guys. In the grand scheme of things however,
while the latter might be noteworthy, by far the more important action
was taking place at Hahamonga park deep inside the Devils Gate
reservoir... where the Homers handily beat often the sometimes mighty,
but this time truly, Paper Tigers. The victory took the Homers to a
2-0 opening to the season.
I was flagrantly not paying attention to the game, exhibiting my keen
ability to be square, in the midst of others having fun. Why are we
changing HW on MSL 3 months before last access some might ask...
Anyway, we must have been doing something mostly right on defense since
! we held the Paper Tigers often formidable offense to a mere 14 points
(hey, this is C-league). I do have a vague recollection of being impressed
by a running stop by Richard at short stop with a well aimed fast one to
first for the out. On the offensive side we had 3 homeruns, 2 by Ron
(who is having a great batting season so far by the way) and 1 by Richard
(he may be a dad, but he ain't dead yet). Uncharacteristically, scads of
Homers got good singles and doubles, combined with the homers, bringing
in a total of 22 points, mercy'ing the paper tigers in the 4th and 5th.
Hooah, Homers.

Spring is a time of renewal.
This year that seems especially true. This year the "Arab Spring" has
brought renewed cries for freedom and democracy across a large swath of the
Earth. The divisive political environment in Washington has brought
renewed cries for fiscal restraint. In many states there have been renewed
cries to reign in unions and pension costs. The disaster in Japan has
brought renewed cries for the end of nuclear power.
It appears to be a serious season for renewed cries.
Fortunately, one renewed cry has a much lighter tone, the cry of "Play
Ball!". Yes, once again it is time for HOMERS Softball, and the world seems
a happier place. The result of the first game of the season made the HOMERS
even happier.

The HOMERS welcomed two new players with this game, Shannon and Jon!
The HOMERS started the year fast with two big offensive innings. They
looked like the HOMERS of old, living up to the team name by hitting 4 home
runs in the first two innings, before adding another homer in the 6th. Slim
was 3-for-3, with all of his hits going for home-runs. Don and Ron each
added one as well. Everyone else (with the exception of some lousy lead-off
batter who shall remain nameless) joined in the offense as well with at
least one hit.
Defensive highlights of the game included 2 unassisted double plays by
HOMERS rookie Jon. Joe joined in with a classic Joe type catch in left
field. No one, including Joe, was sure if he was going to make the play
until he did.
