gotta little Jose Canseco in him



Used to get that a lot at softball games...here comes Canseco again..and the team I played on for many years (14-15) is being inducted on Saturday April 14th into the Chicagoland 16 inch Softball Hall of fame. We are just the 24th Mens team to be so honored after winning 43 league and tournament championships, we got selected. I AM SURE there will be great skepticism about this, but you can call the HOF and they will tell you that Smoke (our team) is indeed being inducted and I will be speaking on behalf of our team at the induction ceremony in accepting the award (we get a trophy which is basically a block of wood with a Clincher made of steel on top of the wood block, with the HOF induction date on the front plate) for the team. Tickets are 100.00 for the banquet dinner and ceremony to the public and available on the Chicagoland 16 inch Softball Hall of fame website. Perhaps I'll post a photo of the team here afterwards. I have been told there will be a photographer taking pictures for Press Publications to be published in the Elmhurst Press.

This is why I have trouble figuring out who's doing a bit. This isn't a bit, but I'll be damned if it doesn't seem like one.

$100 for the Score party or $100 for a really stupid hall of fame ceremony? You decide. Both are extreme wastes of money.

I guy I know was the first guy elected to that Hall. I went to the first dinner. It doesn't seem like it was 15 years ago. Time flies.

I'll take the hundo, buy 4 cases of beer, and then toss in some extra for grillin fixins.
