2010 MASTER AND TEAM SCHEDULES NOW AVAILABLE ALSO SEE THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR 2010 Joe DiMaggio once said when referring to Opening Day, “you look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.” I believe, all of us were part of something wonderful this 2009 Year-End Play-Off Tourney … filled with so many wonderful moments and thank you all for being such a pivotal and special of part of our 20th Anniversary. Tournament mode is where the real meat of the game is; we were delighted everyone was part of this all. It is said baseball is made up of very few big and dramatic moments, but rather it's a beautifully put together pattern of countless little subtleties that finally add up to the big moment, and you have to be well-versed in the game to truly appreciate them. It is my distinct honour to officially congratulate The 2009 BTSPL CHAMPIONS – THE BREWSTERS.
The FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP game, a hard-fought game, unbelievable highlight reel-like plays on both sides, we are talking major league level plays here folks! The X-MEN again, show us all again and again and again thru to the very last out, why they are 2006 & 2007 Champions. The 2009 BTSPL CHAMPIONS – THE BREWSTERS, a team that has transformed itself over the years, from Boondock Saints (pre-2006), to the Buds (2006), to the Terrapins (2007), to the Brewsters (2008 & 2009) and now, 2009 BTSPL CHAMPIONS! A seemingly unstoppable team! The Brewsters family is made up of:
Lynne
T (Captain), John S, Hart G, Paulo S, Andrew K, Alvin & Mark A (as we all
affectionately know and love as “the twins”), Mark & Mike V NEW PHOTOS and 2009 Bordertown Tournament Pix SEPT. 27, 2009 - CHAMPIONSHIP AND CONSOLATION RESULTS What can we say about our magnificent MIG Giants, who have come so very close every year, only to walk away thwarted. Baseball hall of famer, Mike Schmidt, once said “any time you think you have the game conquered the game will turn around and punch you right in the noseWe have two other beloved teams, that came so very close to the big show, only to fall just short. Well, 2009 showed different; congratulations to the MIG Giants, 2009 Consolation Champions
As you’ll see in the Championship Results attached The Stingers … what a worthy opponent, gave MIG a run for their money! Stingers ~ congratulations, well done! With each new season comes new surprises, new challenges and the unexpected turns and twists that highlight every year-end tournament. So many games finished within 1 run! What a finish for the Gremlins ~ to reach the Championship Round only to face The 2009 East Division Champs, The Falcons. To put it into perspective, Gremlins were 10.5 games back of The Falcons at the end of the regular season and gave them a run for their money, an unbelievable feat. Congratulations Gremlins, Wow! What can we say about the Meadowvale Blazers, The silent killers! For the Average Joes to compete with this very Blazers team that beat The 2009 Finalists X-Men and The Brewsters, way to go Average Joes! Manchester Brewers, well you were the talk the town in 2009!
