FRIDAY APRIL 1st.
All fools day game was played one field D today.  No fooling.  Before the game Board of director Reg Barnes gave a nice little talk about how to speed up the game. Everyone (almost) agreed with the new arrangements. Play ball.  The three teams manages by Barnes, Kline and Simon.  One team bats, one team sits and the third team takes the field. 

Most players say they do not like to play a three team game.  Well from what I’ve seen the last two times we played with 3 team, that the players seem to enjoy the time that two teams are on the bench at the same time.  What happens in a three team game is that everyone has a good time and a few at bats with a lot of good people.  This program was started to play ball and have fun.  We are doing that.

Thanks to Bob Hite for umping the game today.  Only the scoreboard that Bob kept score on knows who won or who lost.  We all won.

Leading hitters for Simon team:  Simon 2 for 4, Thompson 3 for 4, King 3 for 3 w/W, Mahon 2 for 4, Moots 1 for 2 with 2/W, Burtner 2 for 2 w/W

Leading hitters for Kline’s team:  Spitaleri 2 for 4, Andrews 3 for 4, Lopez 4 for 4 3B, (had to have oxygen at 3B) Rutan 3 for 4, Bess 2 for 4 w/2- 3B,  Mohan 2 for 4, Duff Hill 3 for 4 w/3B, LaMay 2 for 4

Leading hitters for Barnes team:  Steve Hill 4 for 4 w/HR, Laffoon 3 for 4, LeTourneau 4 for 4, Taylor 3 for 4, Hector 3 for 4, Waddell 2 for 3 w/W, Yasz 2 for 4

Oh did we speed up much, no the game ended after 11:30 but we all had a good time.  One thing more I only put on the web what the score sheets say.  Maybe once in a while I expand a little.
