Sunday is the warm up act to the real show that begins on Monday - the campers get some stretching, some batting practice, some infield/outfield, and the rookies had a scrimmage in the afternoon.
This evening's banquet includes the annoucement of each team. This afternoon the Pro Staff gets their draft on and selects the campers to their teams -- the Pro Staff pairings and team names:
1) Kent Hrbek & Tom Brunansky - "6905ers"
2) Jacque Jones & Tommy Watkins - "NorthStar Ninjas"
3) Phil Roof, Dick Stigman & Matt LeCroy - "We are Family"
4) Toby Gardenhire and Ron Gardenhire - "Roasted and Toasted"
5) Frank Viola & Jeff Reardon - "Game 7"
6) Glen Perkins & Matt Guerrier - "Irrevelants"
7) Stu Cliburn & Stan Cliburn - "Twin Killing"
8) Al Newman & Juan Berenguer - "Villians"
9) Juan Rincon, Devin Smeltzer & Brian Dinkelman - "Redemption Tour"
10) Tim Laudner, Gene Larkin, & Milt Cuyler - "LCL"
Kevin and I were drafted by Viola and Reardon and will play for Game 7. Early returns on our team is we are stacked at pitching and hopefully our bats will be just as deep - but I have us at 5 starters so the good news we should be able to keep the arms fresh.
Our first game is tomorrow at 10am and we will play game #2 in the afternoon at 1:10pm - the weather tomorrow looks nice and warm with temps in the mid 70s and then potentially cooling off later this week!
Looks like we have a solid group of guys so looking forward to the week! Let's Go!
Of course Frank & Jeff took their 'Captain' Benny
