Playing WHSS Is Like Eating A Finger Licking Good Meal, It’s Enjoyable.
The write up, for the game on 5/11, is going to center around something every team needs. It’s not a good shortstop, although it is important to have a player
who can control a key spot in the field. It’s not hitters, although they are important when it comes to scoring. It’s not good outfielders, granted they are important, as well, when it comes to shutting a team down. It’s having a sponsor who helps provide
the funding for a team/ league. Thanks to all of our sponsors at WHSS. See if you can identify the TV commercials that sponsored shows from yesteryear. Answers will be given at the end of the article.

1. “You can trust your car to the man who wears the star.”
You can trust your hitting to Hicks, Guttenberger, Matta, Constantine, Hite, Simon and Lopiccolo. These guys came through in the first inning, they gassed up the engine and scored 5 runs. After the 1st inning the score was 1-1-5 in favor of the
Fielding Team.
2. “Aye-aye-aye-aye, I am the-------bandito.”
Castillo, Baker, Hicks, Guttenberger, Rad and Matta crunched the ball for 5 more runs. After 3 innings the score was 4-1-12, the banditos were stealing the game.
3.
"Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us!" The Hitting team was tired of hitting the ball for outs. They heated up the grill
and cooked up a special order of runs, in the 4th-6th innings. They scored 1-2-2 runs, to get back in the game. Vining had a HR, with JD on base, to deliver a two-run special in the 5th.
Team Citrus Ridge answered back in the bottom of the 6th inning when they decided to do like this commercial said;
4. “put a tiger in your tank.” We scored 3 more runs when Constantine, Hite, Castillo and Simon growled. They decided to
5. "Get a piece of the rock”, by hitting the rock. After 6 innings, the score was 9-3-16, in favor of the guys who were in good health, with Citrus Ridge Health Care.
6. “Gimme a break, gimme a break, break me off a piece of that--------.” Team KFC
needed a break and they got a small one, when they broke off a few hits in the 7th and last inning. Jo Anna, Wells and Chrest all had hits to score a pair of runs. Final Score: 9-5-16.

9. “Don’t Leave Home Without It.”
These commercials were among the first to include celebrity cameos, including Jim Henson, Stephen King, and Jerry Seinfeld.
For softball players, don’t come to the field without it. The “it” being your bat, glove and a good attitude.
10. “Have a ----- and a smile”.
The following players made their manager smile with outstanding defensive plays. Rad, fielding a grounder way in the hole at SS. Fabian, catching a hot liner at first. Hite, going back
into shallow right field, from 2nd base, to catch a pop fly.
