2015 Season

We are three weeks away from the season opener.  First outdoor practice is scheduled for Monday April 6th.  As Blue lost five players to retirement, eleven year vets Pete and Mike, along with last year's leading hitters, Blum, Hoffman and Fridinger, and Al (#22) on the DL, it is a year of reloading.  Blue has added nine new players and as soon as I have the opportunity to visit the Post Office to get their pictures I'll add their names (as well as AKA's), mug shots and uniform numbers (all youngsters). I'm told Blue has added "Rifle Arm" to the outfield, "Soft Hands, Light Fingered Louie" to the infield and "Crazy Leggs Cowan" for his speed. Old #9 has opted to remain on the roster for when the rookies deplete the team with their first year hamstring and groin pulls, Achilles sprains, Rotator Cuff strains and all the other assorted ailments.  My wish is that they avoid the first year jinx but in case I'm coaxed out of retirement I hope Crazy Leggs Cowan stays together to be my substitute legs as my designated runner, Neal, is now retired.
