We know that many of you Gashaus Gorilla fans have been clamoring for updates. But the truth is, we haven't really gotten started yet.Sure, there was a Spring "League", but to be honest with you, we stopped counting that as a real league long, long ago. At least 10 months ago. Now, that's just a little spring training to make sure our arms are in shape, our beer coolers don't leak, and Baumgart still can't hit. (Check, check, annnnd check.)
We're not gonna bore you with the details of a practice league. Some stuff happened. Let's not make a big deal out of it.
The only significant occurences all spring were someone stealing B's glove - rendering him unable to play his standard gold glove defense (altho he still managed to hit a monster homerun in the last game) - and Melon's hair really getting out of control.
That's it.
But, hey-howdy!, the summer league starts tonight. That's right, despite the fact that we started this post about 3 weeks ago, today is actually the 1st day of the summer league! So put on your favorite Gorilla fan-gear, and come out to the Iglerock. (Bring bier.)
In honor of a new year begining, here's a little piece of memorabilia from last year. It's the scorecard from perhaps the greatest game in Gorilla history. Here's what we wrote about it then, but honestly, the post doesn't do it justice. Pour 10 biers in any Gorilla that was there that night and ask him about it, and you'll be regalled with a story you can tell your grandbabies.
See ya at the yard.
