VINTAGE BALL
News from Townball Headquarters
After the Washington College’s Townball Crier called a game on Sunday, the Historical Society of Talbot County’s Fair Plays accepted the challenge. The college’s Revolutionary Rabble were nervous–the Fair Plays have an impressive record against their opponents. More troubling were advance rumors indicating that in addition to having their own uniforms, webpage, and team photographer, the Fair Plays enjoy regular access to personal trainers, a masseur, an acupuncturist, and a team psychologist. As if that weren’t enough, they reportedly have annual spring training in Baja California, a Lear Jet to fly them to and from games, and a pipeline into the vast reservoir of Cuban baseball talent via illicit ties to the Castro regime.
The Rabble, however, have team spirit, aloha shirts, cheap neckties, school pride, and Brandon Righi, a notorious cheat. There’s another post on this topic (below). Click “more” for more.
Even though the universe conspired against the players: the rain, the ominous thunder, the taunts of pickup truck drivers who have something against aloha shirts and candy stripe hats on the stick ball field…nothing fazed these players and cranks (fans).
