Latest From Leo - 4/18

Ahoy me matties -

 

From the west coast it is time to plan the next get together of the Pirates to do a little bit of practice!

 

The practice time for this Sunday (4/21)  is going be to move back to a 4:00 pm start!  This is due to Hikes Point having their Opening Day festivities this Sunday.

 

Right now, the head count for players confirmed to playing this year is 18.  They are:

 

Blair, Bonte, Braun, Brown, Cubero, Denney, Gabriel, Gregory, Hooper, Irish, Keeling, Mills, Nave, Ortiz, Porta, Seyffarth, Stierle, Stover.

 

I've heard from Lucas and Brotzge that they will not be playing this year.

 

That leaves me with Bright, Bruschi, and Caldwell with no definitive answer of yes or no.

 

Others who might be interested in playing:  I talked to Jeff King, Gregory has father from son's team, Mills has a friend, Ortiz had two or three guys, anyone else?

 

If any of these guys have true interest I have to start looking at "how many more do we want to have on our team".

 

Truthfully, I'd like them all to be able and play.  Honestly, it takes alot to try and give you guys equal time in the field and at bats.

 

See you on Sunday at Des Pres at 4 pm.
