PDX Fall Kickball - Sunday Afternoons

Joe showed the defensive prowess of a hardy veteran kickballer, snaring everything that came his way during the 'Operators' close loss 0-2 at the hands of team 'Shake & Bake'...

While backing up on a short pop fly Soe go tripped up, fell to the ground, and we all wondered the same thing. How is he ever going to make the catch? Well, very easliy I guess. From his butt Soe managed to snag the ball without letting it hit the ground. So for that - we say - give the man POTW!

In dramatic fashion Ryan drove a pitch past the outfielders with two runners on base. Both runs scored easily, and as Ryan sped along the bases his teamates were chearing for the ever elusive kickball homerun. Without any sign of hesitation he rounded third, and made it safely home to the delight of his comrades. His homerun wound up giving his team the edge in a tightly contested 5-4 game.

This boy has got some skills. In some circles he'd be called the Derek Jeter of the firt base side. In other circles he'd just be called a good kickball player but either way this boy has some hands. Two amazing catches. The first a full out superman catch in foul territory which, once the reply was reviewed, showed a full 2 foot vertical gap between himself and the ground. The second a knee scraping dive. Hey Tony, how's the knees?
But wait there's more! A critical 3 run home run to ensure that his team takes the victory, though lost in a forfeit, this man still put his body on the line for his team. Hats off to you Tony, and next time we meet, how about a bandaid for those knees...
