Spring Co-Ed Softball at Irving Park Sundays

This weeks POTW was really an easy selection. Tom Pomeroy subbed in for Pabst Smear to and pitched the entire game before logging 5 of 7 frames in his scheduled contest with Huevos Grandes. In each game he channeled his inner Roy Halladay and did nothing but pound the strike zone--even when he missed it was not by much. However, on this day it was his off the field credentials that sewed up they highly desired POTW honors. Tom was rumored to be celebrating a 40th birthday (which he later denied), but also brought a dog to the park that could catch a frisbee in mid air, and that's the type of fun we like to see at Underdog!

A day when your antics, performance, and/or quality of play earn you a nickname should be commemorated. As such, the day when Lexi Graybell became Lexi "The Freight-Train" Graybell is being commemorated by honoring her as the player of the week! Her teammates described her day at the plate and skills behind the plate as "the biggest day of her life." Lexi only smiles and says, "Get off the tracks, a freight train is comin' through!" Congrats Freight Train, you're this weeks Player of the Week!

Here at Underdog you can earn a POTW award for all sorts of reasons. Part of the reason generally involves some sort of stellar play in the field or at the plate. This week is no different. Samantha B is a more than reliable infielder for Pabst Smear and is no slouch at the plate. However, this week, she just happened to be in the "right" place at the "right" time. You see, Samantha "Takin' it in the B" B. is the player of the week for taking a softball right in the B! Samantha bravely reached down to grab a frosty adult beverage from a cooler positioned right in front of the dugout entrance... at that very moment an errant throw from the other team flew right in the dugout... and the rest is history! A few laughs, and hearty swig from the wide mouth can (for wide open refreshment!) and you have our player of the week!

BAM!
