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.

Good Morning Homers!
I definitely did not forget I volunteered to do the Homers Report last week. So friendly reminder we have a game today, 4/28, Homers vs Titans (HN Field).
Homers are 2-0 in the season, beating the Eclectic Eccentrics by 10 points (Homers 24 - Eclectic Eccentrics 14).
Starting with our offensive highlights:
- Johnny made a surprising guest appearance. Despite not playing in the 2024 season, hit 2 homeruns!
- Chad and Steve also joined the homerun board, each hitting one homerun.
- Tony went 4 for 4
- Abby and Calla went 3 for 3
For our defensive highlights:
- A perfectly orchestrated rundown between 2nd and 3rd base. The ball was hit to center field and the runner at 2nd thought they could make it to 3rd base. But Johnny (CF) threw it to Ana (3B), causing the runner to turn around. Ana then threw it to Tony (SS), causing the runner to turn around again. Steve (C) came running from behind the plate and was ready at 3rd. Tony ran the runner down most of the way before tossing it to Steve for the out. Well done Homers!
- Calla caught a hard line drive at second and turned it to Chet at 1st for a double play
Attendance:
Jeff, Ron, Tony, Steve, Chad, Rob, Ana, Johnny, Annette, Calla, Richard, Abby, Chet, Dora, Lisa, Daniel, and Steve's kids (who were very proud of this homerun), and Chet's kid.
See you all tonight!

Hey, hey, the 2025 season started splendidly, with we Homers beating the Bruisers 18-11. This was a bad offseason to recap for those of us working to discover or disseminate truths, so let's get some hot takes on the game:
| + | What a great day to start the season - sunny, maybe 75°, nicely manicured grass, successful hawks,... |
| + | Welcome back to Clipper refugees Ana, who went 4-for-5 and made all the plays at 3B, and Tony Ga, who also hit into only one out and kept the game moving at P. Welcome to newbie Steve, who at 2B nicely speared a high liner to his right and drove in the first Homer run in what otherwise would have been a blank inning despite having bases loaded and no outs. |
| - | The game ended with a literal thud when Abby started the 7th with a line drive to the outfield that LF and LC ran so hard after that they didn't see one another and collided head-to-head. They were but half the Bruiser casualties of the day, as the pitcher's lower half kept getting in the way of hard-hit balls, and first baseman Heather took a low throw on her ankle. |
| + | Hitting stars of the day: Annette went 4-for-4, driving in runs in the 3 at bats with runners on base, and AJ, who also went 4-for-4. Wow, grouping hits together: the bottom 4 went 14-for-16 with 11 runs scored. |
| + | Richard got the first Homer home run of the year, a misread line drive to LF that put us up for good |
| - | However, at dinner (attended by Chad, Annette, Daniel, AJ, Abby, Ron, Dora, and Richard) Richard had an epic, gut-eviscerating joke about a recalibrated A-10 clearing the field of gophers, but our aeronautical engineers eschewed laughing and instead debated whether I really wanted an AC-130 or even better, an Apache helicopter. Stupid truth-tellers. (OK, I'm exaggerating, for they did laugh, but they really did get caught up in debating the proper aircraft.) |
