To date, no one has shown a genetic predisposition to follow in the footsteps of Clark Griffith "Catfish" Williams. The Old Curmudgeon acknowledges that he may be the one that somehow filtered out the genetic material. Never-the-less, we were treated to some good ball today.
Lauren glares at the pitcher and dares her to throw some heat.
Having seen a pitch to her liking, Lauren singled. Seen here, she awaits developments as the first baseman (sic) takes care of an over-throw to the pitcher.
She eventually scored for the team and her Twisters shut-out the opponents. The game was eventually called on account of the "10 run rule."
Before the game, Grif awaits the official team portrait.
Later, warming up for his turn at bat, he tries to channel his grandfather.
In fact, he singled and stole second but was left stranded. In the bottom of the ninth, down by one run with bases loaded and two outs Grif carried the hopes and dreams of his Mets. He had a good hit in the opener. But with all the pressure of the situation, he inadvertently channeled Mighty Casey instead of Catfish. So for today, there is no joy in New Pal, but it's early in the season...
