This in from where are they now dept…….

JOEL “SPARKY” FOGEL is scheduled to make his 2012 debut tomorrow night as TEAM CRONSTEIN, 3-0, will welcome the two time MVP……FOGEL, normally a shortstop, will probably see action at third base, but states he’s a team player and doesn’t want to mess with the so far successful chemistry of the team……he’s been staying in shape in the off season with the help of former player (now washed up) DAVE WERNICK in training sessions……he’s signed to a week by week contract as he still will miss some first half games…….STAY TUNED…….

Apologies to MICHAEL ROTHSTEIN as he sent in a game report, but somehow the e-mail never was received…….here is the report…….rookie MITCH EVANS got the game ball thanks to a game saving catch in the outfield with the bases loaded and a couple of key hits……COREY NORRIS pitched three scoreless innings…….DOUG SANDOR played great defense along with “old timer” MICHAEL KADETZ’ difficult catch to key the defensive effort…..captain MICHAEL ROTHSTEIN also gave kudos to the other team in saying that WILLIE WAXLER played great defense and got some key hits……..

ON A SERIOUS NOTE…….Condolences go out to JOHNNY BERG on the passing of his father……he and his wife were fixtures at almost every game JOHNNY  played in and he will be sorely missed…….

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…….

TEAM GUTTMAN finalllllllllllllllllllllly reported in after I told captain BRANDON GUTTMAN, he was the BEST captain to report in……….they continued their undefeated season by defeating TEAM LEFTON, 15-5, B LeB had two homeruns, while BG had two triples and JASON “BIG HAUS” FAUST kept his mastery on the mound going…….

NOTE………COMMENTS FROM CAPTAINS AND/OR PLAYERS CAN BE SENT TO ME AT r.rosenthal@fuse.net

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….

Thanks go out to my “proof reader”, JERRY KIRZNER! In my summary of the LEADER/WEISBROT game, I wrote that BARRY WAGNER pitched……as some of the “old-timers” may remember, BARRY played in the league many moons ago and is the “proud” father of current day player BRAD WAGNER…….comments can be sent to me at r.rosenthal@fuse.net……..
