Spring Rookie Kickball Downtown Mon/Wed

Peter started off with some rocky kicking and nervous field play, but like any kickball professional he shook off the butterflies and got it together.
Thinking he had the game winning kick, but being called off for out in front of the plate, few thought he could muster the guile to come through in the clutch after such a defeating call.
Peter rose to the occasion in the seventh inning, and kicked the game winning sacrifice, and the rejoicing continued throughout the evening. Great job Peter!

This weeks player of the week goes to Klaus Gosma and his great plays on defense while playing catcher racking up out after out. He also had the biggest part of knocking in runs for his team with deap kicks to the outfield! Great job Klaus!

This weeks player of the week goes to Kris Sophiea and his outstanding play! Kris played very solid on defense, and made a couple of great throws to catch base-runners off guard with his accuracy and strength. He also kicked 2 bombs in his game that really impressed! Great game Kris!

Last Wednesday, Steve Champeau turned in one of the most impressive defensive performances that I have ever seen. From his right-center field position he somehow accounted for 75% of his teams outs. By the middle of the game, the opposing batters were doing everything they could to avoid him. But due to his excellent speed and anticipation skills their efforts were futile and Steve continued to dominate all over the field until the game's end.

On the first catch it looked like it was luck. The second looked a little more natural. The third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh catches were straight up the stuff of legend. I'm talking about Andrew Choi's one handed catches. He wasn't trying to show off. He just happened to break a finger playing softball last week, but that did not stop him from dominating on the kickball field this past Wednesday. Andrew's incredible display of maimed athleticism earned him Player of the Week. Great job Andrew!

While Lindsay Goodman played two solid games in the Bed Bugs double-header this week, the primary reason she is getting player of the week honors is because of a sick double play that she pulled off in crunch time to keep her team within striking distance. Team USA was threatening to put the nail in the coffin with the bases loaded in the top of the final inning and only one out, when Lindsay batted down a scorching ground ball right down the first base line. She then proceeded to tag out the runner going to second while at the same time leaping to make the out at first just in the nick of time. Lindsay and her team were not quite able to pull off the win but her clutch defense still dominated the post-game chatter, as it should of. Congrats Lindsay!

With a great attitude and making both teams laugh all night. Jim pitched the game of the night. It wasn't always pretty... He even had a pitch that didn't even get to the plate.. I know, hard to believe we are giving Player Of The Week to a pitcher that can't pitch the ball to the plate but Jim poised himself and pitched a complete game shut out. Playing great defense, making play after play and not to mention his many timely kicks in both games. This was a no brainer to give the player of the week to Felix Hernandez, dang there I go again, I mean Jim Copacino. Thanks for the laughs and keeping it fun....
