Today is a special day for the SFRC.  Happy “Number Forty-Juan….Berenguer” Day.  40 days until first pitch.

If you don’t get the reference….Back in 1987 the Twins had #40 Juan Berenger and #41 Jeff Reardon.

 

At the time, Jeff Reardon was one of the premier closers in baseball.  When it was time for relief, you’d hear Bob Casey introduce the new pitcher.  It would go one of two ways….

 

Option 1: “Now entering the game for the Minnesota Twins, number forty-one, JEFF REARDON” at which point Twins fans knew they had a win.

 

Option 2: “Now entering the game for the Minnesota Twins, number forty-Juan… Berenger” at which point Twins fans knew it was going to be interesting.

 

Happy Number Forty-Juan Berenguer Day.

Time in the Cage

Posted on March 3rd, 2009

We are into March, 2009.  That means it is time for the SFRC to get in the batting cage.  March is generally known as “Watching Pitches” month for the FRC.  We won’t start swinging until early April.  For now we will just watch pitches.  By April 29, 2009 we will know the strike zone better than any other team in the B’Ville Wednesday nights D/E league. 

This is just one of the many ways the SFRC separate themselves.
