2024 HR Derby – errr – Burpee Derby

0

22 men showed up at Huguenot Little League to show their best Ohtani and Judge impersonations – only 6 men were successful in hitting the ball out of the park, and only 1 man (Orange Crush) left the yard twice. Congrats to OC on winning the 2024 HR Derby and congrats to the PAX for doing well over 100 Burpees, among other exercises. Maybe next year, Outs will equal APDs?

We assembled in right field for some COP and light calisthenics and warm-up, and also to collect names for the batting order. Directions were given – 3 Swings, anything other than a HR is an Out, each Out = 3 Burpees for the fielders and a lap for the batter, each HR deletes a lap for the batter and allows the batter to choose a substitute exercise for the fielders. Then it was time for the main event.

A lot of 3-out = 9 burpee performances, unfortunately, but I guess it makes us stronger. And, resulted in the end of the batting order barely being able to swing. Crabgrass, Rudy, 3 Doors Down, McRib and Meatball each launched 1 HR. OC launched 2. Those guys graced us with merkins and squats instead of Burpees.

We cleaned up, dusted off, and returned to the Flag for COT, numbers, names, announcements and prayers. YHC took us out with thanks for the ability to be kids again this morning.

Only 1 announcement – James River Float – August 11 – see slack for details
