Everyone is welcome to come and bring a friend to the party at Salty's tonight. In case you are looking for something to do before the party. The Championship Game will be played at the Park Shore Field, 6:00 between the Solicitors (They lost to Mc Nair 9-6) and Nelson Mullins (We never played them.) I hope you all can make the shin-dig at Salty's. By the way, Today's word at Rosen is [KARMA].. Just kidding. -Jet

A Message from the Top! (Re-Published article from Mr.Youngblood)
Team McNair,
Just a note to congratulate all of you who played on and supported our Firm's softball team this year. The comradirie was contagious and such a healthy thing for the Charleston office. I am proud to be associated with such a team of winners. A special thanks to coach/publicist/equipment manager Trabert!

Re-Publish of e-mail from Frank w/ Rosen (Season 2)

Frank,
I sent around your e-mail to my team this morning; I did not send it to get them fired up, but to give them a good laugh-Cinderellas with pumpkins, that was pretty good. I understand why you sent the e-mail. If I were in your shoes, I too would have been scared and started talking trash when I found out I was playing Mc Nair.
I spoke with Amy at Seekings' office and she said the fields will be ready for tonight. I told her you were worried about the fields because you have a lot of hired gun-prima donnas who don't like to get their uniforms and shoes dirty. (I do my best to accommodate the other team.) Her solution, if possible, could your team bring their hair dryers to dry the field around 5 P.M. I thought y'all would have them in your softball bags anyway, so it sounds reasonable to me. Also, she said if any of your players have out-of-state tags they will receive a ticket for parking in the Palm's Apartment lot. I know you have a lot of players from Georgia and Florida, so If need be, I am sure I could get Scarafile to bus half of your team in from the church parking lot down the street. (He has an Expedition-seats 8.)
By the way, now that we have established a certain comity for tonight's game, Good Luck Tonight! You are going to need it...
-Jet

Re-Cap of 1st Playoff Game v Haynsworth
Introduction:
Some might ask, how does a team go from being 2-8 one year to turn around and go 6-4 the next? Others might call us Cinderellas, an over-rated team who barely beat an 0-9 team, Moore and Van Allen our last game. I call these people what they are naysayer. Naysayers are those people who believe with out extremely talented players the team will never win. These are the same people who were shocked to see the United States Olympic Basketball Team-perhaps the most talented b-ball team in the Olympics, get beat by the team from Italy. Wait a minute, bad example; I was shocked by that as well. I digress, Haynsworth beat us in the regular season 19-7. They thought it was going to be a second verse, same as the first routine when they played us again. Once again, someone made the mistake of underestimating our team. We were missing a few players, but had an ample turn-out to "cover our bases", with a combination of determination, will and the support of our fans! (Thanks for sticking around when Alex let loose the torrential downpour.) Folks, I am happy to say; We did it! Our first Playoff Victory. We had a little trouble getting our offense going, but our defense picked up the slack and we held them, pulled away and then won! This has always been a team effort, my success and ability to keep Donald Williams from firing me as the captain has been because of you. The Team also gave me the best gift-opportunity I could ask for. To score the winning run in our first playoff win! (See 'Highlights' below) Great Job to all, and a special thanks to the fans! Mc Nair's record is now 7-4!
Haynsworth: 0 / 3/0 / 2/3 / 0/4 /12
Mc Nair: 1 / 0/ 0 / 4/4 / 2/2 / 13
Dug-Out:
Mr. Dependable went 3 for 4 at the plate and played some excellent defense in LF. He scored three times, including the run which tied the game in the 7th inning. Great Job Brett! Jay-Bird's first at bat was a single home-run, followed by two doubles and a line-drive that was caught by their 3rd baseman in the final inning. Trust me folks, when a hit comes that fast towards the hot corner, it is plain old reflexes and luck to catch a ball while blocking your face. Excellent job! Chris Williams held down 3B, went 2 for 2 at the plate, and got us back in the game with a 4th-inning triple. Tom Mc Tighe was 1 for 2 at the plate, falling victim to a heck of a play by their short-stop. Tom played some great defense in Short-Right and he keeps on getting better and better. Do I hear most improved player of the year? Joel had a little trouble at the plate, but played stellar defense and put in some great pitches. Also, I would like to point out that he showed a lot of leadership on the field, kept everyone up-beat and played with an injured-elbow that I hope, but doubt, looked worse than it felt. Corbett was 1 for 3 at the plate, scored once, and did a great job in deep Right. Ted Huge did a great job on first, but had a little trouble getting his hits. Don't worry Ted, it is nothing that can not be fixed. You were just not following through on your swing. Covergirl-Mary Shahid showed she still has the wheels to get around the bases, and played a great game, running faster than anyone without cleats should have in those slippery, muddy, wet conditions. Great Game Mary! Christina Davis went 1 for 2 at the plate, scoring once and did a great job playing a new position on 2B. Adam Stolamite! did a great job subbing for Tom, and it was his off of the fence hit that knocked in the winning run! Great job Adam! Craig came in as the designated hitter, and kept the momentum going for us, as well as, giving great advice on what we needed to fix. Craig has a lot of experience and a great eye for these things; if Donald Williams doesn't re-new my contract, I would recommend him to fill my shoes. Capers played aggressively and kept us on track to bring home the win. He went 2 for 3 at the plate, scoring in the 6th-CRUCIAL RUN…MC Hammer went 2 for 2 at the plate, getting two RBI's with his 6th inning double. Also, he did a great job playing 1st base. Great Job Scarafile!
Highlight:
As you can see from the stats, Haynsworth came back in the 7th inning and took the lead by one. But by all means allow me: Mc Nair was winning 11-8 at the top of the 7th inning. With bases loaded, HSB's batter, Trop smacks a grand-slam that hit off of the top of the apartments behind the field. Mc Nair tightens up and gets the next three batters out. Bottom of the 7th, down 12-11, Mc Nair has "Mr. Dependable" Brett Bluestein up to bat. Brett cranks one into the outfield and gets a double. Next at bat is Jay-Bird Alexander who slams one towards third base. As he was blocking his face, their 3rd baseman, Captain Cary, accidentally caught the ball, giving Mc Nair one out. Next at bat is Jet. Captain of the Mc Nair squad, he cranks one back to the fence but it goes foul. Will this be a walk-off homer for Jet? Absolutely not, as his next hit goes straight down into the mud, advancing Mr. D to 3rd and Jet makes it to first. Next at bat, with one out, Adam Stolomite cranks one to left field right over the glove of the HSB's hero Trop. Bluestein comes into tie the game and as the ball bounces off the fence, Jet comes home from first to score the winning run, Stoler ends up at 3rd. Nice wheels, awesome hit and great team effort for Mc Nair to bring home another victory!
End Note:
For those of you who did not know, I worked for Haynsworth, Marion, Mc Kay and Guerard (before their merger) during my years at El Cid. A friend of mine at HSB asked me; how could I turn on my Haynsworth blood and score the winning run? The answer is simple. I am a Mc Nair Man and on August 15, I will have been so for four years! Thanks for playing and cheering as hard as you did. This victory meant a lot to me, and I could not have written a better ending! Corbett told me a while ago, that despite all of the work that goes into "running the show", it would be worth it in the end. It's the smartest thing she has ever said to me. You guys make my job easy and I enjoy every moment of it! Stay tuned for the re-cap of our final game this season against Rosen…Jet
