TEAM BRAFMAN got revenge on TEAM KAMRASS from a first half loss and it was a two out rally in the second inning that set the tone…….
The rally started with JERRY “DOC” KIRZNER’S single and steal…..that’s right, a steal of second base that got the team going….”I was speaking with SCOTT “DIRE” WOLF before the game and he was sharing his base running tips and when the ball went into the dirt, I knew I could get to second base,” KIRZNER said afterwards…..
With two outs, BRAD “THE HUMAN RAIN DELAY” WAGNER doubled to right, RANDY “TEX” BROYLES singled and AARON “STRAIGHT OUTTA” COMPTON singled setting up the table for PAT “SUNSHINE” FELDMAN, with his cheering section in attendance, and a three run home run….
After a MARC BRAFMAN single that went all of five feet up the third base line, RYAN “THE HEBREW HAMMER” BAUM continued his outstanding hitting with a triple to left….BOB “SUNSET” FELDMAN singled him in as the team batted a round…..
“What a great all around hitting display for our team. We got hits from all up and down the line-up and that was the difference tonight,” BRAFMAN said afterwards……..
No TEAM BRAFMAN game would be complete without some outstanding defense and once again, it was the elder FELDMAN making numerous big plays at 1B to keep TEAM KAMRASS off the bases…..ERIC “THE MOUTH OF THE MIDWEST” GRUEN and HOWARD “HEY I’M BACK” GOLDWASSER also contributed in the field…..
LEAGUE NOTES……..
Congrats to former perennial JCC all-star BILLY KAHN for becoming the new owner of Weil Funeral Home…..
Not sure if you saw this, but former JCC all-star MIKE YOUKILIS has a son who you might have heard of, KEVIN…..since he retired from major league baseball, has opened up a brewery in California and is doing well…..one day when we take a JCC road trip, we can go there……
Also, in the the sure that you guys know this department….TODD WASSERMAN told me post game that he attended Moeller High School with Cincinnati Reds Hall Of Famer Barry Larkin and taught him all he knows about baseball….BIG props for getting him into the Hall Of Fame!!!!!
How many times have we all yelled “heads up” at the field only for the ball to land ten feet from the nearest person?…..that message did not reach ERIC “THE MOUTH OF THE MIDWEST” GRUEN who took a line drive shot off his arm from ADAM CRONSTEIN in batting practice…..he said postgame while icing his arm, “I never knew he was batting.”
Speaking of CRONSTEIN, a shoutout to him for hitting a three run home run off the foul pole…..that might be a first as it rivaled CARLTON FISK in the 1975 World Series…….
If you happen to go to the Silver Spring House post game and see STEVE “EPPY” EPPSTEIN buying platefuls of wing, don’t order the broccoli around my son, JACOB…..EPPY who was nice as always to order wings for everyone had his broccoli stolen from his plate by my son who couldn’t have cared less for the wings sitting in front of him…..is mother is very proud!
And finally, ROGER “X-MAN” ROSENTHAL was very disappointed that he couldn’t trade two MATT LATOS’s, three WINNIE THE POOH’s and his very own game used “Friends o Clyde” jersey to his supplier for one JERRY SEINFELD bobblehead, the New York Mets gave out over the weekend….”You know I was on the field the day that George ran over BETTE MIDDLER and you would think that my jersey from that day would have won over my guy BOB SACKAMONO in New York, but BOB said he already to KENNY BANIA’s jersey from the same game and it was GOLD so he told me no. I hope to get the DAVID PUDDY DEVILS one later this year,” a dejected ROSENTHAL said…….
EDITORS NOTE…..I hope you understand this last part as I never watched Seinfeld, but was told by Mr. Roll Tide Roll, that if you watched the show, you know what all this means…………
