Softball: Musings on the Cadaver Issue
Dear People,
Congratz to all on last week’s superb 18-14 exploration of the wondrous aerobic milieu that results from the inclusion of no less than six brand new hunky-poos in our normally staid lineup of spastic bozos and sardonic professional-athlete-wannabes. I imagine that some of you regulars felt clammy, awkward and even inadequate with the sudden appearance of so many power-hitting manly men, and in all candor, their very presence made me want to cryogenically entomb the weaker specimens amongst you in order to permanently free up some desperately needed communal revitalization slottage.
In the end, though, I decided against this because it’s not about strength or hand-eye coordination or even general athletic competence (characteristics that are, admittedly, somewhat scarce within our league). Rather, it’s about the intangibles like clarity of aerobic purpose, recreational honor and the courage of a greater vision. Of course, we fail on all those counts as well. Nonetheless, I’m simply not going to deep freeze any of you until I can verify the safety of this magnificent new process by having my own hands tenderly graze the professionally pickled DNA of Ted Williams’ freshly frozen torso. And therefore, there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11AM, IF I get enough commits by this Friday noon….Raymond
