10 glory days seekers disregarded the forecast, crossed their fingers and showed up praying the field conditions would permit a HR Derby….and they did. We had to improvise a bit, but we were able to get it done and the lower numbers allowed for 2 full rounds and 2 lightning rounds for 8 swings each. And, finally, after about 8 years (or however many we have been doing this), YHC finally overcame his performance anxiety (must have been the smaller crowd) and connected for 6 HRs in 8 swings. Glory Days!
Several others connected for HRs, including Rosie, NTB, OC, Dry Rub and Singer I believe. If I missed anyone, apologies – sound off in the comments. And a good time was had by all. Rosie even did some sliding practice that was surely on purpose no matter what the replay shows.
Given the weather and low turnout, YHC is going to host a HR Derby Part Deux on Tuesday, August 5. I have grabbed the NoToll Q for that day. Let’s do it again. But – to be clear – YHC will not relinquish the 2025 crown regardless of what happens on 8/5!
Thanks for coming out. Let’s hope for dryer weather on 8/5.
COT, Numbers, Names and Prayers for Wildcat (clean scans!) and for NTB (contemplating a promotion).
Great morning gents. It may not have increased our muscles much, but it sure as hell brought some joy and fun!
No More Gumbo For You!
