First Place

Summer Co-ed Kickball at Ballard Playfield Sundays

Some people love the Yankees. Some people hate the Yankees. But no one is indifferent to the Yankees, and regardless of your feelings towards them, few can deny the power of their franchise, and that yes, they'll be there at the end every year.
Underdog Kickball has had it's own version of the Bronx Bombers for a while now- the trash talking- in your face- feared yet respected- Supercalifornia Pants. Supercali has had a stranglehold on the hardcore division for years. After a bump in the road of losing last season's championship to See You At Recess Bitches, they avenged their loss by beating the Bitches and taking the title at the recent Red Rubber Showdown.
However, Pants found themselves in an unusual spot this time around- the #2 seed behind the upstart Pink Seagulls. The Gulls were mere babes when they played their first season at Ballard Boys and Girls Club last year, but after a few seasons of dominating mid-core play, they decided to step up and take a crack at hardcore. Playing for a championship in their first season is indeed a nice crack.
As expected, the kicks were booming and the defense was tight. Supercali jumped out early, but some miscommunication on the field and a few well placed kicks had the Gulls right back in it, and we were tied at 2 at the beginning of six. In the end, experience won out, as Supercali was able to put one more run up, and keep the Gulls off the base paths to seal it 3 - 2. But it was clear that the Gulls had played them tough, and would be back again.
Congratulations to both teams on a great championship.
