The Season Closed
But thats only for 2006!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, back to school really kicked my butt...

Well the season just ended on September fourth, and even though we ended up 5th of 6 in the northern part of the league, we still had and amazing first year as the Connecticut Defenders.

MVP for this year was Nate Schierholtz
Most Defensive player was Brian Busher and Derin McMains
I believe it was called Best Pitcher was Chris Begg
The Good Award was to Andy Busch (and after his 9/3 interview with RDSpiehs he gets my vote for funniest guy on the team! LOL)

If I missed any please let me know. I know I missed one cause Dave Machemer recived 2 awards for players that werent there and I know one was Chris and idk what the other one was.

Anyway. The last game was amazing for me. What events! Well for scores, game one we won 2-0 with pitcher Geno Espinelli. And game two we lost 1-4 with the one run from Quincy Foster.

At around the bottom of the third in game one is when my day went nuts. Tyler Von Schell came up and of course I'm cheering cuase hes my favorite player. Welp, he shot out a bunch of foul balls... one ending up coming right at me and hitting me in the back of the leg. EMBARRESING! I had and EMT with me and all around me people were looking. Tyler got on base afterwards and while the EMT was attendingto me my friends told me to look out at first base and there Tyler was looking at me making sure I was okay. I was surprised. After since the kids next to me got the ball, and there was three outs, tyler gave the usher a ball to give me. And after the usher got me down to the dugout between games and Bob Stanely got tylers attention and autographed the ball and asked if I was alright. I was so happy. So I forgot before the game, I had already talked to tyler, gotten his card signed, and gotten Garrett Broshius, Anthony Reyes and Bob Stanley to sign their cards too. So later the EMT wanted me to walk, so I did. I went up to the Table for the Silent auction. And I looked @ tylers Jersey. come to find out. My friends were bidding on it. And... they ended up getting it for me. I was super happy after that. I'm still waititng for them to call my friends saying they are cleaned cause they used them that day. And also afterwards outside after the game, Derin McMains came out back and he gave me a base ball bat. And Idk but I think It may have been a bat that Tyler used cause it said (A.P #28) on it. But Idk. I just may be retarded and it may mean something completly different. and that was on the bottom.

But yeah that day I ended up being on cloud nine, But now I have a huge nasty bruse and welt on my leg. But It was worth it. Believe me. LOL

Well this is basically going to die now until April like Joe and Gregs blogs. But I may post something occasionally if I find out something off season about a player.
