Posted by vinnyt in : baseball , 1 comment so farI have been playing base ball now for about 3 years in the KCMSBL. I started playing 3 years ago. My first year I played short stop for a team called the Rangers we where a decent team and got to the playoffs but died in the first round. Last year I played for a rather horrible team, that was ran by a rather stupid individual, who was just out right too dumb to be anywhere near a ball diamond, as a result we went 0-16 and really didn’t do squat. So this season I decided to put all the crap aside and form a team of my own. Initially, I started with a guy who at that time was a friend, but quickly our relationship soured when he did not want to relinquish control to an outside non-playing manager who I had brought in to keep an unbiased approach to the whole thing. So we started practicing in roughly February as soon as the snow melted, and we practiced until the season started in the end of April. Early on the team was playing with their heads wedged and as a result we lost 7 straight games. At the 6th games we by chance recruited an old college player who is one of the most humble men I’ve ever met, and he brought an entirely new approach to the game, and changed the entire attitude of the team. The last game that we lost was like a completely different team was on the field it was amazing, but we lost by 1 point. From that game on we did not lose a single game and ended up in second place for the season, it was one of the most amazing turn arounds I’ve ever been a part of. We are now past the play offs which we basically ripped through the 2 teams that we played and now tonight begins the championship series. We are playing not only for pride but free league fees next year. The team we are facing is 24-1, so they are going to be tough, but they lack pitching which is one of the areas where we dominate so this will be a most interesting match up.
