Hooray for ADAM CRONSTEIN for reporting in first this week!!!!!!…….TEAM CRONSTEIN is now 3-0 after defeating TEAM SCHWARTZ, 10-7, behind the pitching of “SUPER” STU WEINSTEIN and the overall solid defense and timely hitting as a team…….first year player DAN SCHWARTZ had two hits and scored twice while DAN “COSTCO MAN” CRONSTEIN and WEINSTEIN each had key RBI doubles….also noted was the play of MICHAEL ASKIN, contributing two hits, two stolen bases and one run scored…..meanwhile, tooting his own horn for Captain Of The Year Honors, captain ADAM CRONSTEIN collected two hits with a walk, double and third homerun along with three RBI’s and three stolen bases………afterwards being quoted, “I just hope our team can keep playing loose and keep playing solid defense. If we can do that, hopefully we can keep riding this wave and continue to win games.”……

In other action, TEAM WAGNER captain BRAD “WAGS” WAGNER, reports in of a 8-6 lost to TEAM ROTHSTEIN…..COREY NORRIS got the victory, while STEVE EPPSTEIN started the game and came back in to capture a rare save…..TEAM WAGNER welcomed back defending MVP MATT STEINBERG, who was playing his first game of the season after “vacationing” in Poland…..he started off where he left off with a homerun…..also noted was the fine defense by JORDAN COHEN and WILL WAXLER….still looking for victory # 1, TEAM WAGNER plays another winless team TEAM SCHWARTZ next week…….something must give…….STAY TUNED….. also former All-Star JOHN BERG will be back in action and try to jump start the team and let’s not forget about SUPER FANS…..MR. and MRS. BERG, always cheering their son on…….

Game Results: May 3, 2012

A tidbit that wasn’t mentioned in the blog last week and brought to my attention from HOWARD SCHWARTZ  is the fact that not only did RON ROSE play with JACK COHEN’S grandfather and ALLEN COHEN’S FATHER, but is the oldest player in the league (81 years young) and maybe the country….

WEEK #2 SUMMARY……TAKE #2…..

THANKS TO AN ANNOYMOUS CUB REPORTER, we now have a report on TEAM CRONSTEIN…..under rainy conditons, they won their second game in two tries with a 15-2 thumping of TEAM LEADER…..two key hits (both bases clearing triples) were distributed by veterans DAN “COSTCO MAN” CRONSTEIN and GARY “JUST ASKIN” ASKIN….my question is…..were there oxygen masks waiting for both 50++++ year old players when they got to third base?????……MICHAEL “THE CARDS” SMALL, MICHAEL ASKIN and ADAM CRONSTEIN all played stellar defense, while pitcher STU WEINSTEIN held the opposition to four hits…….
