John Wooten

Big John joins the team this year after a long athletic layoff. He is looking forward to getting back into the swing of things on the softball field. John and his family are newcomers to Resurrection Life church. Rumor has it, John settled on Rez Life because of the excellent softball history.

John has been showing signs of getting that rust off and has already had a few decent games. I expect that in time he will be able to rip off a few big hits. He certainly has been enjoying getting his legs stretched out and hustling out doubles. I can see Big John getting into at least one big fly this year.

Defensively, John will be getting lots of action behind the plate and in the oufield. He should be bouncing around behind the plate with cat-like quickness and shagging flyballs in the green grass. It should be lots of fun for him.

Personal Notes:
John is a two-time winner on Jeopardy. He parlayed his winnings into a small landscaping business that specialized in palm tree removal and gopher extraction. While his palm tree business nearly bankrupted the company here in Minnesota (no explanation needed) he is making a name for himself at local golf courses as his company 'Caddyshack Delux' treatment has been a big hit.
