Hello Current and Soon-to-Be A’s!
If you’ve looked at the weather recently, you probably think
I’m crazy. But despite this unseasonably dry and beautiful spring we’re
having, this city will undoubtedly become a stifling swamp within a matter of
days. That means everyone’s favorite time of year is fast approaching;
softball season!
Last year, you, the First Effing Amendments, capped off a
historic run to give the illustrious franchise our second winning season in
history, and this time we were more than one game above .500! Featuring a
powerhouse lineup that lost various stars throughout the season to injury,
marriage, and law school, the A’s stormed through the Congressional league,
crushing any unfortunate team that got in our way. However, this coming
season holds even more promise.
We’ve got returning stars like Sandy “The Fulton of Swat,”
James the Base-Running Bullet Owens and the FoE triumvirate. We’ll have some
free agent additions such as Will the Hammer Horowitz and our unexpecting crop
of summer law clerks. But this email is really going out to you, person
on the fence (read: Ian). I want you to come out and share in the glory,
the love, the beer, that is A’s softball.
The season won’t really kick up until May, but I need to
sign us up before then and get our schedule together and whatnot. So what
I need now are commitments. Particularly, $20 worth of commitments from
my full (or most)-timers and $10 from any part-timers. I need to pay the
registration fee up front, which I’m happy to do, then track you all down for
payment. Please let me know if you can commit a few bucks towards a
rockin’ good time.
I will of course get you info on ordering jerseys (they
usually cost around $25ish each, depending on how many we order). If you
plan on playing full-time/most games, please let me know which day of the week
works best for you, generally, in the summer. Hopefully that day will be
Tuesday, because they’re the least crowded days and veterans know how tricky it
can be to get a good field in the middle of the summer with that culture fest
thing going on.
That’s it for now, A’s. Let me know about the
registration fee and your best day to play. Gracias.
Effing A,
