Lower Woodland #4 - Thursday [FALL 04]

Inspired by Phil Collins going away tour, Ryan felt that he should give a show of his own. Ryan hit a three run home run for his team to edge out the Fadeproofs. When asked after the game, Ryan said,"It's not as good as Phil, but a little cheaper to watch.."

With his team down by one run, no one could have predicted what would happen. JC had already hit two over the fence homeruns in the game and had a chance to win the game for his team. The scenario was set. With two outs and two on, JC hit the ball to left field, the left fielder broke on it and despite a valiant effort, the ball went off his glove. No one stopped running, the dugouts emptied and with his third homerun of the day JC won the game for his team and player of the week.. Congrats.

In a normal circumstance, the player of the game goes to a player off of the winning team, let alone the player of the week. But one thing stood out about Greer on this cold fall night. His plays and his sportsmanship made it so as soon as his first game was done, the whole winning team came to me and asked the umpire to make him player of the game. Something is to be said for that my friends. For those who weren't there, Greer put on a Willie Mays Hayes type of performance. He made a diving over the shoulder catch in left field, a twisting and turning catch in left center that the average player would never be able to make and never once gloted about any of it. That's a winner in our books.. Congrats Greer.
