Wally Backman’s Tirade Award (in waiting)

Recently we have been talking about a few of the great tirades that we have seen in the softball league. We had the Little JC “Bobby Knight” tirade. We had the “Hey Red, you mean nothing to me!” tirade and we had the idiot who threw the cooler with all the ice onto the field.

The next tirade we see may win the “Wally Backman Tirade” award.

SFRC Sticks – Get those bats going! Schlitz has prizes for the three swingers with the most gusto (and the three top hitters too)! The person with the highest batting average wins a Schlitz prize pack (a.k.a. SPP) and the second place winner will take home a highly sought, rarely found, Schlitz Belt Buckle!

Get in the cage and get ready to make a final run at these great prizes, courtesy of our friends at Schlitz! I feel bad for H-Bomb and Varmits (final opponents). They have no idea what the power of Schlitz can do.

Happy “Number Forty-Juan Berenguer” Day

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.
