Congratulations

Division Champions
Congratulations to Balls and Dolls, Fall 2010 Division Champions. Someone asked me before the tournament started, who do you think has the best chance of winning. My reply was that this season had so much parity that really anyone had a chance to take it all if they played right. OK, well maybe not We've Got The Runs but they surprised us in the first round. Of course, I would have loved for my team to won and I did play on Asstastic Balls during the summer season so I would have been happy for them if they took the prize but in the end, I'm glad that Balls and Dolls won.

Jess did a great job of building her team this season with some of the core players coming over from her team from last season, Cleats and Cleavage. This is a multi-talented crew. At the midseason party they represented themselves very well and proved that they were the best flip cup team in the division. They also showed us that they really know how to play kickball and were one of the 4 teams that were tied for 2nd place after the regular season.

Besides their skills at flip cup and kickball, this team is probably one of the most chill and fun groups in the division. This is the team you wish your team was more like. They had planned on having a keg party after the tournament but had anticipated a much earlier departure. Their winning ways had allowed them to develop quite the thirst and they wasted no time getting off the field to tap the keg. I should also mention that Gordon makes some pretty incredible home brewed beer that he was more than happy to share at the post tournament party.

So once again, congratulations to Balls and Dolls. You deserved your title and I hope to see you guys defend it in the spring.


Crystal Pitcher
Congratulations to 99 Problems but a Pitch Ain't One, this season's Crystal Pitcher winners. With as much parity as we had in the standings, we seemed to have just as much in the Crystal Pitcher. This was the tightest vote we have ever had. This award was once dominated by Asstastic Balls (with whatever name they played with that season) and their fun ways have rubbed off on the rest of the division. Last season they were in a 2 way battle for the award with Looking To Score (now Masterbatters) winning by one vote.

This season we had 3 teams that were really in the running as the ballots were counted. In the end, 99 Problems but a Pitch Ain't One had 2 more votes than Booze on First and 3 more votes than Asstastic Balls. The Seminoles also got a lot of votes and came in 4th place, perhaps in direct opposition to the vocal minority who instigate the Seminoles poor reputation. Does it really matter who wins the Crystal Pitcher? No, not really, its just a fun and silly award to help add to the fun of the division but I have to say, it is fun to hoist the tiny trophy and act like you won a major award.
