Softball: Chocolate
Dear People,
Congratz to all on last weekend's stirring 23-16 exercise in poignant kinetic excellence. When I think that you all showed up to play after so long a layoff, your tiny little veins clogged with a month's worth of inertial grout, I am all the more inspired to carry on.
Yes, as softball loving peoples, we will perhaps always face the hostility of athletic bureaucrats who will never understand who we are or what we do, or ever give us our legally acquired land without constant intimidation. Of course we all know that from Socrates to Cobb, this is the fate of those who choose a righteous but misunderstood path, and thus last Sunday, when they once again tried to seize our field, I took great comfort in knowing that we could draw strength from previous victories in our 5,000 year history of aerobic Diaspora.
In order to maintain the momentum that we have finally reestablished, there will be another game this Saturday, October 31st at Kleeberger North at 3PM, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning at the very latest. As you probably know, this Saturday will be the 131st anniversary of the birth of hall-of-fame outfielder Ed "power boy" Delahanty, the only player in the history of baseball to win both A.L and N.L batting championships (I for one would go as Delahanty at that night's Halloween party, except I tend to shun costumes that are too obvious in conceptual load).
In any case, it is time to renew our pledge to sustained kiniseological vitality. Make that commit. Do it now. Do it for batting champion Ed "power boy" Delahanty, whose very birth inspired the proffering of delicious and nutritional candies for generations to come... Raymond
