Tuzigoot and Beenthere--son to team together for LWEast

BeenthereILHSBBWeb Old Timer

Just found out that Tuzigoot's son and my son will be teammates on this years version of the Lincoln Way East freshman baseball team.

Apparently, the selection decision was made after this mornings practice.

To those of you websters who have sons playing at the freshman level and we play against each other, please let us know. Tuz and I will treat you to a hotdog and coke while freezing our fannies off this spring.

Beenthere and Tuzigoot,
My 09 and I will see you guys at the first game of the year (vs. Romeoville). If mine is not on the bump he'll be at short.
Can I have hot cocoa or coffee instead of a soda? Have you seen Tuzi around Hot dogs?...I'll pass.
Tuzi, jr's. rehab is complete then? Good! You'll never guess who is being recruited to the "nation".
Uppercut, we send our regards.

Tuzi,

Is that for real, 300 kids? We had 50 kids try out at my son's schools freshman team and everybody thought that was huge as we usually only get 35-40. The school has over 2000 kids (all 4 grades).

There are 3,678 kids at East this year, of which slightly under 1,000 are Freshman (don't know the exact number). There wasn't 300 kids at tryouts, I was just being facetious.

I like how facetious has all 5 vowels in order.

ripcord51,

Nice observation and a good way to remember the spelling. Of course, "facetiously" would even include the part time vowel "y" (in order, of course).
