Spring Softcore Kickball at Ballard Boys & Girls Club Sundays

This guy loves his kickball. After helping his team, the Stinky Fingers, win a 4-0 shutout on Sunday, Kyle stuck around and played two more games. Filling in for missing players on two different teams, Kyle played all over the field and provided outstanding kicks for 3 straight hours. He kicked a home run for the Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, and played some great defense at third base for the Sandbaggers. Thanks Kyle for showing us what kickball is all about.

Eric knocked in 10 of the team's 12 runs and topped it off with a face plant into the plate. Couldn't have looked any better; the best way to top off the game!

Nathan Smitha's team did not win Sunday. In fact, Nathan's team wasn't exactly Nathan's team to begin with. But this is Underdog! Spring Kick Group asked their friend Nathan to be a last minute fill in to make a full roster, and Nathan, having never played before, hopped in and went to work. He got on base a few times, made a few great catches, and generally had a good time. Which is the point in our leagues. Congratulations, Nathan- stop by any time!

It's the big talkers that usually end up silent at the end of a game, when their mouth has written checks that their body just didn't cash. Not so in Anthony Muck's case. He laughed. He joked. He screamed. He (jokingly) mocked the other teams, his own team, and himself. When playing catcher he shook hands and chatted with kickers, all the while remarking what fun the game was. He even had complimentary remarks for your friendly neighborhood umpire. Meanwhile, his game was up to snuff as well. Anthony was good on the field and kicking, including one of the most perfectly placed kicks we've ever seen in UK, slicing up the third base line into the outfield and landing in fair territory by about 3 inches; a big run scorer at a crucial time. Anthony was the rock for his team in a strong championship run, and a great sport to boot. Congratulations, Stinky Fingers!
