GAME RECAPS…….

by roger rosenthal

TEAM LEFTON knew coming into their game against undefeated TEAM SOLOMON that they were going to have to play their best game of the season and they did just that….at least on the defensive side……

JEREMY FOGEL played perhaps one of his best games in his young career as he gobbled up everything in LCF including a couple of web gems that Billy Hamilton would have been proud of…..one of his catches also included him colliding with father JOEL FOGEL, but after a few minutes to see that both were OK, the game resumed…..

The younger FOGEL also contributed at the plate with four hits and said afterwards, “I have a reputation being the son of a future Hall Of Famer to be at least in the same conversation with him. He has had a great career, but I’m planning on having a greater career.”

JIMMY LEFTON pitched perhaps his best game of the year as he didn’t walk a batter and fielded his position well by playing hockey goalie in stopping some shots at him on the mound…..

“I felt like a target out there. Those balls were shot at me, but being as nimble as I am, I was able to do a pretty good job in stopping the shots, ” he said afterwards……

JEFF FINKELSTEIN played a flawless SS and made some really nice plays to keep the other team off the bases…….

Other nice defensive plays were made by MICHAEL KAHAN in LF, BRAD GALLOP in RF and ROGER ROSENTHAL at 2B……

Also, props to fill-in catcher ROBERT PELBERG, subbing for RICK LEFTON, who was having dinner with the mayor of Cincinnati to try to set up a JCC SOFTBALL DAY……

“Bob called a great game,” pitcher JIMMY LEFTON simply said after the game…….

Next week, TEAM LEFTON will try to continue their hot streak and will try to avoid a letdown…….

“I think our boys know the situation ahead of us and I’ll be extremely disappointed if we come out flat next game. I might even have a team meeting an hour before the game to make sure our heads don’t get to big,” said JIMMY LEFTON to reporters…….

Another one run loss in a row……..in a game where neither team got the bats going….

The battery of JASON “THE MAD HUNGARIAN” FAUST and DAVID “DANCING WITH THE STARS” SOLOMON had a great game, registering three strikeouts and getting out of a couple of jams….

Defensively, RAFI “VELCORAFTOR” GOLDFARB and JARED KAMRASS turned a double play to end an inning with the bases loaded…..MICAH KAMRASS also registered a web gem in LF…..

On the offensive end, ADAM “VOTTOMATIC” CRONSTEIN ripped a home run and the KAMRASS brothers each ripped triples…….

“We’re waking up the bats next week. I won’t give away any secrets, but it’s a complicated ritual involving Jobu, rum, cigars and the finest chicken available at KFC,” captain MICAH KAMRASS said afterwards…..

TID BITS…….

Well after the games at the regular eating establishment, DAVID WEIL, DAVID SNYDER and BRAD WAGNER were engaged in a bit of a heated discussion about whether the Cincinnati Reds are legitimate contenders in the Central Division…..

Also, there was a discussion going on amongst a few players (not to be named) on who the best outfielder in the league is……NO blows were exchanged and everyone kissed to make sure there were no hard feelings………..

A reminder that next week is FAMILY NIGHT #1……friends and family are invited out for food and drinks and to mingle with the players after the games……..autographs will be available, but only for 20 minutes after the game……
