With the summer season behind us and a secondplace finish not sitting well on the taste buds, the Beavers embark upon a new season and a new league. Over the years the Beavers have played at Kirkwood, Webster, Crestwood, Manchester, Brentwood and Clayton. Fenton will be a first for the team.
Playing along the beautiful Meremac River in Fenton, the Beavers will be found on field #1 in the competitive league. Playing again on Wednesday nights, and again in doubleheaders. This league has a fence. Which I am sure is a blessing and a curse. We already have requests on raising/lowering said fence to accommodate our power. We'll see how it all plays out. Kid offered up the challenge that anyone who hits a solo HR should have to buy beer the next game as only 3 HR are allowed over the fence.
Since the schedules are not posted yet, I know nothing about the competition. So, we will go into this one blind. Hopefully it will be posted for week two. We do know this, we are playing at 6:30 and 7:30. We also know that there are some new faces for the Beavers...well, not new...but new in 2009.
Making his first appearance this season is a member of the original Beavers team, Shawn "Gee" Hagan. He claims he has not his a softball since last year. Last time we checked he only had one good eye. We'll see what we get from the veteran. The other addition to the roster for fall '09 is another Beaver from the past; Ron "Santo" Harrington. Scouts say that he has been on fire in his Thursday night summer league. Climbing his way up the order as his hits mount. To make room for these two guys the Richmond brothers have decided to be on the reserve (sub) list for the fall. Sorry to see those guys go. Will need many hits and lots of bitching to fill their shoes.
