| TBA Tournament | 09.08.24 to 10.08.24 | 1-2 Record Loss|
The final curtain of the 2024 campaign has set for the team of many names.
The jersey might say Whitete, but they will always be Soxox in my book.
This entire year provided fans with the ebbs and flows of base-exhilaration and
ball-heartbreak.
The TBA tournament was no different.
The Grovers got past the Royal Yorkers, but the Tea-Peas were formidable foes and steeped the men in black in two games.
Thank you, gentlemen, for an outstanding season.
I hope you enjoyed spending time with your teammates, hitting a ball with a bat,
running in diamond-shaped circles,
throwing a round projectile at the other folks while exploring foreign lands.
With another 12 months under your maturity belts, I trust you will appreciate and thank your parents for watching your games while they baked in the sun or froze in the rain,
for the never-ending laundry, for playing chauffeurs, and most importantly, for picking up the bill.
Remember these sacrifices, because… someday, and that day may never come, they will call upon you to do a service for them. — Don Corleone
A big thank you to Sabrina and Hanna for capturing awesome pictures during each game. To Cindy and Lisa for logging each play into the GC app.
And to DJ Jasmine for spinning the tunes. James Hetfield would be proud.
