ON DECK CIRCLE...UPCOMING EVENTS!!!!
ONE OF THE GREATS
by Wayne Richards
With two no-hitters under his Cubbie belt, Ken Holtzman has earned a place in our baseball hearts. From St. Louis comes word from his brother, Tom, that this impressive ball player and human being has passed. He was 78.
He practiced Judaism and studied Hebrew, although it is French in which he spoke fluently. But his real communication was generated by his left hand pitching.
One of the most memorable moments of his career came when he pitched against the great Sandy Koufax in 1966 and won the game by a score of 2-1. As a matter of fact, many critics heralded him as "THE NEW SANDY KOUFAX!"
In 1967, Ken only played a limited number of games...not because of injuries...but because he was serving in the National Guard.

WATCH PARTY AT GATORS WAS....WELL....INTERESTING!
by Wayne Richards
In case some of our new members are unaware, you will always find an interesting "totem pole" placed within eye sight of most of our meetings. It's quite a piece of art and from what I was told contains positive mojo. After a 17-0 loss to the team from BEAN CITY, our mascot better start doing its job and tend to the spirit of the "men in blue" or we just might have to have our own BURNING MAN FESTIVAL!
This symbol of our club is supposed to radiate “positive energy” but the strange layered piece of art seemed to be in a slumber. However, all was not lost!
