Well, it looks like Spring has finally joined us and that means we can hit the fields running with our softball team. We had a very successful 2007 campaign and it looks like 2008 could be even more fun.
This year we have several new faces. We had to say goodbye to long-time team members, AJ Larson, Nick Larson, and Matt Shuster. Scheduling and family matters just didn't make the season work for these boys and we'll miss them all. Chris Burr was another 3-year player and he too will have to take a summer off because of scheduling issues. Matt Hanson and Brendan Finn were recent additions to the team but a move to South Carolina and scheduling issues ended their short tenure. All tough losses and impossible to replace, but we wish them well and know we'll be seeing them all soon enough.
The team's roster is set with 12 members this season. There are several returning members, as usual, but we have an influx of new faces thanks to the departed status of so many from 2007. We'll be posting individual player profiles as the first few weeks progress, once everyone has gotten to know each other a little better.
However, we have plenty of veteran players returning and we'll start profiling them today, starting with Team Captain Lee Valle.
You can read all about Lee's on-field exploits in the next post as well as his fashion sense, favorite movies and career stats.
Games start tonight on Field #3 at Eden Prairie Round Lake Park and it should be a great start to the Spring.
Welcome Back Everyone!!
