Monday June 7….4:17 p.m….ONLY two responses to the question of if you were to start a professional baseball team, who would you pick, past or present, to start your team with and why?….One answer came all the way from the Dallas, Texas area where ex-JCC “star” BARRY TENENHOLTZ checked in and says he reads the BLOG weekly to keep up with his “old” friends….his answer is WILLIE MAYS, with JOHNNY BENCH being a close second….his reasoning….MAYS, one of the top five 5 tool players in the most critical outfield position over BENCH, who shut down the running game for the other team and called a great game and was a phenominal hitter in his prime, but was more prone to injury….the other answer came from the designated league philospher, DAVID WEIL, who picked PETE ROSE, who states he doesn’t belong in the Hall Of Fame, but was the greatest player (individual and team) of all time who could play multiple positions making selecting the rest of the team that much easier….the BLOG sees both BT and DW as bringing up good choices, but the BLOG selects DEREK JETER, who happens to play for my least favorite team, but plays the game hard ALL the time, no matter the score, and plays arguably the most important position very well and is a clutch hitter, especially when it counts, and is the ultimate team leader….by the way, MILTON BRADLEY was a close second (hahahahahahahahahahaha)….THIS WEEK’S QUESTION….ALL TIME BEST MANAGER IN BASEBALL?…..answers/questions/comments can be sent to r.rosenthal@fuse.net…..

Sunday May 30….11:14 a.m…..TEAM GUTTMAN finally reported in with a summary of their 8-4 victory over TEAM CRONSTEIN…..”SUPER” STU WEINSTEIN got the game ball as he pitched a solid game keeping the hitters off balance with his slow, slower and slowest pitches….strong defense, in particular from ANDY IGNATOW and ZAC HIUDT and the strong catching of GARY “JUST” ASKIN helped in the win….”J-ROD” HUIDT led the hitting brigade with power with ASKIN collected two hits and SCOTT “SHORTY” ADAMS added two hits as well….captain BRANDON GUTTMAN proclaimed ASKIN as arguably the best defensive catcher in the history of the JCC softball league….the BLOG wants to know how much ASKIN paid him to say that or what was he smoking, drinking or a combination of both?…..as an added highlight, MOUNT ROGER “ROGZILLA” ROSENTHAL almost exploded thanks to a TEAM GUTTMAN steal attempt late in the game with them up 8-1….security was brought in to secure peace and things were forgotten after the game…..comments/questions…..r.rosenthal@fuse.net…….
