not that anybody's been holding his breath, waiting for an update, but here it is:
the 55+ red hot chili peppers' recruiting for 2013 is going well. in two months, we've gotten 10 guys who can, in fall practices at least, run, throw, hit and even take a joke. we'll cap the roster at 13 or 14.
but, what we don't have so far, is a catcher. as casey stengel said, "you've got to have a catcher, otherwise, you'll have lots of passed balls."
so if you're that rare being, someone who's 55 (as of dec. 31, 2013) or older, who can still squat without having his knees explode, and can leap out of that position to throw a line drive 127 feet several times a game and not have your arm fall off, plus call a game, hit, and feel that you burn with an unquenchable fire to win, then it's likely you missed your calling with the n.y. yankees.
no matter, we have a starting spot on the peppers for you. glory, of a very limited sort, awaits. or at least some free post-game root beers. that you may not brush daily or bathe weekly is of no concern to us. we can keep our distance.
so, if you're interested, here's the deal: come and check us out. we'll be practicing this saturday,oct. 6, from 3-5 pm, at sand creek middle school on sand creek road in colonie. the directions can be googled. (forecast is for sun, 63 degrees; if it's raining, we'll practice the following saturday, 10/13, 3-5 pm at sand creek.) join us for the practice. so far, our workouts have been pretty invigorating; we try to keep everyone moving. if you like what you see and want to join up, great. if not, there'll be no obligations to join the team and you'll have gotten what i hope is a good fall workout.
if you have questions, feel free to email me at mhart44@me.com or call, 459-6854.
