The 2009 LowBall season officially begins this SUNDAY, May 31, at beautiful GapBridge Field in LINCOLN with the defending LowBall champions Loggers hosting last year's Eastern League pennant winning Lagers in a Wifftober repeat. The event is a FAMILY POTLUCK with the festivities beginning at NOON (rain or shine). Please bring the family and some FOOD to share. The Commissioner himself will man the GapGrill and provide a few pound of flesh and some cheap BEER. We hope to see lots of HAPPY faces.

Come help ring in the NEW AGE of WIFFLE.

The Lagers and Loggers will open Spring Training together on Saturday at GapBridge Field in Lincoln with an exhibition game at 1:30 and a Players Association meeting taking place at 4:30 the adjacent FieldHouse Grill.

While I realize that not all of us in LowBall Nation are Red Sox fans, for those of us who are, the winning of the 103rd World Series just seems so perfect for this particular year. (The Sox winning also saves my LowBall butt from more extreme emBARE-ASSment after being interviewd by Vermont Outdoor Journal in my, then VERY inconsequential, Rockies jersey.)

After the magic of the LowBall inaugural season, the Sox win just futher reminds me how blessed our band of mostly grown-up men are to have found each other to share our love for the game with, plastic AND leather.

This Saturday is the day that the Vermont Outdoor Journal film crew rescheduled for.

Due to some conflicts, we tried to reschedule the reschedule, but this Saturday is their last available shooting date for the season. The game was scheduled to START at 3pm, with a little get together planned for afterwards. However, if another time of day works better for most people we can change the time.

I need to know who is planning to attend, and if another time of day on Saturday works better for anyone.

We really need 6 people to attend, so we can have a proper game to show our stuff (or lack there of). PLEASE let me know via the message board, email, phone, or smoke signal what times you can play on Saturday if you wish to.

Thanks,

Tommie

J-Mac,
I read your comment on hurting today and wish to respond on behalf of the LowBall community. Your pain is the price we (all) pay for our inconceivable rise to Big Time. It is also by definition the nature of an epic event, where something seemingly formidable must be challenged and overcome. The formidable challenge in our epic was the Bird's Eye Builders, and we all thank you for your role in our rich pageantry and the sacrifice you endured for us. The Builder's loss was OUR loss, and the Mountaineer's victory was OUR victory. J-Mac, your pain is shared with all of us, and you should rejoice with us as champions.

We are all one with the Wiffle, and the Wiffle lives within each of us.

The Commish
