Spring Training In Full Schwing!

I hate to interupt all of your training for the coming season. If I can have just a few minutes of your time before you go back to roadwork, lifting weights and rubbing flax seed oil on your arms.

I don't have the schedule yet, but we are tentatively on for opening day on Monday, April 2! That is just 10 days from today and only one day after you crack up all your family members with practical jokes all day. The schedule will include at least a couple of Tuesday games. I'll pass along the schedule and hit up the blog when I get it. I might get it on March 28.

I have placed an order for the 2007 edition of the Bad Gnus T. It will be at least the 6th shirt in circulation. Hate to pile on the invoices, but now y'all owe me another $20. I have already collected league fees from a whopping 2 of you. Please forward that $30 along with the $20 for the shirt when you can or just bring it to the first game. If my favorite brewer and patriot, Sam Adams comes through with league fees, I'll refund it to you.

While you have your wallet out, what do you think about hats? I can get navy blue hats with an embroadered and interlinked "BG" for another $12. Let me know if you guys want to go down that road and I'll get them ordered.

Here is our official roster for the spring season:

Kevin, Bill Appleton, Bill Moebs, Erik Grotte, Greg, Keith, John Wiesy, Doug Hart, Doug Wormald, Howard, Kirk, Pete and me.

Our subs are: Derrick, Ted, Sean McD, Clayton Smith (new Gnu alert!).

If you are one of the 13, please let me know as far in advance as you can if you cannot make a game. I know the little league gods frowned on me and saddled me with 4 Monday games this year, including April 2. With notice, we should be able to fill the spot and avoid the park whoring that we have gotten so good at. If you are Derrick or Ted, let me know when you can make any game and we will get you in.

Sorry, there are no Hooters coupons here. Just trying to get Appleton to check the website.
