I have an idea! Instead of that Sandlot movie, how about a bootleg G.I. Joe? That's about as American as you can get, so it fits the theme! Ha ha just joking. (Or am I? :!:

This was a GREAT event!! I had a lot of fun participating and playing in the game. Was like I was 12 years old again playing ball with the neighborhood kids

It was a great event, wasn't it? I'd hoped for a larger crowd, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and the game was so much fun! You guys were really good and I hope you seriously consider putting a regular team together. I'll do anything I can to help make that happen. I'd love to see the Golden Lads every weekend. Hip Hip Huzzah!!
