Yashur's Yearbook
Plattsburgh, NY (AP)- The City of Plattsburgh Wiffleball League has become quite the hot ticket on Thursday nights in the Champlain Valley. When the weather turns cold, pools are closed, and Jordan puts away the Speedo for the year; THIS is when the real action begins.
When the league was in its infancy it was ruled by a team of semi-professionals known as Michigan's Plus. They were an average group of men, playing in a league that consisted of the deaf, blind, and Randy Lozier-like (unathletic). Soon, however, the league developed into a highly competitive war-like organization, where only the best could be involved.
Thus the birth of Subject to Blackout.
Once assembled, this group consisting of great, handsome ballplayers, and even better drinkers, assumed they would take the league by storm. But did this happen? Well, in part it did. You see the regular season was never a problem for this group of studs (not as studly as longtime friend Rufus Feldmore, but who can be!?). It was the playoffs that caused problems. Year after year the Blackout would dominate until playoff time, always falling a game short. This team consisted of the best pitcher in the league (Billy Davis), the homerun (and coincidentally hot dog eating) champion Jordan “Masher” Maille, playoff MVP Otis “Special Stick” Sanderson, and multiple time player (and drinker) of the week Yashur “Jello-shot” al Fuqur. The team even had Scott Rougeau and Stamford Branch, the players with the most and least amount of “SOMETHING” in the league. This was a juggernaut made for a dynasty.
Baseball standout and close friend Luther “Sneaky Fingers” Brewster stated, “Even I showed up and went DEEP in my first game. The Blackout is unstoppable.”
Now-a-days this is true. The Blackout has won three championships in a row. Playoffs are not such an issue anymore. And what is it that changed!? Was it Carrie Oakey fistpumping in the stands to get us FIRED up!? NO!!! Was it the team colors!? Certainly not.
No. It was the eradication of team cancers (although the only real cancer is from Maille's cigarettes). Sorry boys, you are great players, but WE PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!
LONG LIVE THE BLACKOUT!
