The win against Bats Too! with FHA winning 9-6 was solid and promising. Let’s keep it rolling all Fall. Get ready for Next Sunday and Welcome to Tom and Jamie our new Allstars. Let’s rock this Sportsmonster league!

Mike, where were you at? and there may be a grill night on Saturday.

Anyways, all the scores will be posted on the FHA Info page once I get the book pages and I will also post the book from the previous games I have missed on this blog all at once.

Former Hillenbrand Allstars Fall Ball

Get ready for Fall signup. We definitely have a full team. If you would like a different Sponsor email Ben or leave a comment. I personally would like an FHA Hoodie and Sara wants Long Sleeve T-Shirts. Any preference? Leave a comment or email me or Ben when you sign up for the team. Probably going to sign-up through Sportsmonster again and play at Welles again on Sundays. Get Ready. Hit the cages.

Here we come again Sportsmonster. No Rainouts this time.

Here are highlights for our Allstars:

• Chris Micek apparently dreams of being on Sportscenter with his amazing Defense
• Our whole team came out to play basically which is always awesome
• Chief Ben’s Web Gem at Shortstop off a line drive
• Big Mike’s Dinger in the center field trees
• Max 3 for 3 with a single, double, and a bomb

Highlights:

• Amy’s superb pitching with 5 strikeouts
• Big Mike with two Dingers
• Max with 1 Dub and Two Triples
• Outstanding D played by All
• Line drive played perfectly by Captain Ben, catch Sportscenter later for replay
• New Player Acquisition: Laura. Welcome to the Allstars!
• Three innings where we shut ‘em down 1-2-3 back to hit

Prepare for next weeks 7pm game, and we are all Goosing it up after.

I have updated the schedule on the right hand side of this blog as well as in the FHA Info tab at the top of the page. The FHA Info tab also now has all game we have played and scores as well as our team roster with Captain Ben’s and my email address linked on the page.

Stay tuned.

Yes, it sucks that it is so early. But suck it up and come out to play. Make sure you do these things for game day:

1. Email Ben and tell him if you can come or you can’t so we can get a good count or alternate players
2. Bring your glove (or tell someone you need an extra)
3. Call somebody if you need a ride
4. Get directions here: Welles Park Google Map (fields all over the park, but we saw only the Northwest most corner of the park being used for Softball
5. Go over the Sportsmonster Softball League Rules
6. Kick some ass.

Email Ben to say if you can make it or not. Leave a comment or email me or Ben if you have comments like, “10am sucks, who books this shit?” or “I will be soooo tired, how am I gona hit all those bombs?”

Watch out Golden Otters!

Practice is from 2:30 - 4:30pm.

If you need a ride please arrange one with someone you know on the team, drive yourself, use public Transportation OR Email Ben or I (Our Emails are links in the Roster on the right) and we will help you get there.

Change of Plans!! Practice is now at our game time park of Welles Park

We will be playing catch and just goofing around as well. I will bring 2 extra gloves if and I encourage anyone else who has extra gloves, balls, or bats to bring those too. Stay as long as you like and if you can’t make it just email Ben or I so we know.

Please bring your league fees of $75 for Ben.

See You Sunday!

The team has formed and the final roster is posted on the right –>

Also, because we signed up as a team it will only be $75 per person. Don’t worry if you already paid Ben, he will give you the difference back.

We also now have to find a sponsor bar or restaurant. So if you have one in mind email me or Ben or comment on this post. We also understand not everyone is 21 which is fine, no worries.

And the last announcement is that on May 17 or 18 we will be having a social practice to meet everyone and get some Softball in before the season at Warren Park. We will see what day is better for everyone.

As soon as I get a hold of the schedule I will post it. We do know our first game will be on June 22, and then every Sunday after that for 8-10 weeks.

Until then, as Chip always says, HIT THE CAGES!

Captain Ben has called Sportsmonster and we have a sign-up plan.

Right now we have ten players that have expressed interest and can be found on the right —->

Ben and I both think that if we get 14 players it will be plenty for a full team because everyone knows people will be traveling and have other stuff on Sundays. So if you know any other people we can still sign up for a team and get the discount. But as of right now here is the plan:

1. Everyone pays Ben via PayPal later this week ($95, which is more than we originally thought but deal with it, 10 weeks of fun in the Summer with fun people is worth it)
2. Ben then signs us all up specifying we want to play together and Sportsmonster will fill up the rest of the team
3. We kick some Ace

Pretty easy. So, get ready because I will send out another email this week with Ben’s PayPal info and stuff.

We will also be having a Social Gathering at the Batting Cages somewhere in the City to get to know each other and have a bit of fun before the season. Plus, Micek needs to work on his swing haha.

If you do know someone else who wants to play tell them to email me at maxkpage [at] gmail.com or have them comment on the blog. Especially Females.
