What’s even left to say at this point. Four tournament appearances, four trips to the finals. Two straight championships, anchored by a hall-of-fame pitching duo, the likes of which we’ve really never quite seen. Tony Donato & Ken McCormick, are the two most recent title game MVP’s. They have combined to give up just 13 total earned runs, over the last two entire tournaments.. Good for a 1.12 ERA, the best of any duo.
They’ve changed the blue print, they’ve staked their claim, now all there’s left to do is follow through. “Nothing has changed since our last two championships”, Team captain Jake Hatki remarked. “Our roster is the same, just aged a bit like some fine cabernet”. This time around for Bert, it won’t be without worthy challengers. Ironballs, Pork Missiles and Flapacamingos have all made big changes in eyeing to take down the defending champs, and let’s not forget about the 4-time former champs the Goodfellas, who’s record Bert is trying to match, by winning 3 straight championships. Another factor that is unknown, is will the extra enforcement on the pitch speed rule affect Bert’s two aces. They are harder throwing and if found in violation would have to alter their approach. “We see our bullpen has had such an affect on the league, they decided to change the rules to give other pitchers an opportunity to actually get some K’s”, Hatki said. League sources tell us this has nothing to do with the rule changes.
But these guys are veterans, they’ll adapt if
need be, and unless someone can solve the mystery, Bert is an overwhelming
favorite to win the whole thing, yet again.
