Hits Fall in Finale

The Hits can hold their heads up high despite last night's 6-1 defeat at the hands of The Luck Dragons. Everyone played well, we hit the ball great (even though it was right at the defense) and we drank a lot afterwards.

Perhaps our downfall was being too sporting as we probably could have walked every at bat, but we swung at everything anyhow. After all, we are The Solid Gold Hits not The Solid Gold Walks*. I mean, it's rec league softball and walking is boring, so I say we stick with what we're doing.

Sure, we didn't win the championship, but at the end of the season last spring we were 1-7 with our average deficit somewhere around 50 runs per game. So we've come a long way and we can still out drink any team out there.

During our end of season party numerous accolades were handed out. Our "army of fans" were recognized with "trophies" made of peanuts and plastic army men, while Leticia took home a cocktail glass trophy adorned with a tiara and sunflower seeds to recognize her for being the "Perfect Attendance Princess" as she was the only member of the squad to make each game.

This year's MVP went to Sonya for her continued excellence and professionalism on the mound. Outside of Chris N., who is only able to be with us half the time, no one likes to pitch and Sonya has come through for us on many occasions.

After a team shot of Goldschlager, the official cinnamon schnapps of The Solid Gold Hits, we demolished 6 pizzas from Luigi's, the official sketchy pizza joint of The Solid Gold Hits and called it a night, the official time of day of The Solid Gold Hits. And so ended our season.

Thanks to everyone for coming out this year. Perhaps we'll do it again soon.
