From Garretson Blue Jays amateur baseball coach Austin Vanhove: "Jays soared into the season with their first game Sunday, June 2 at 2 pm against the Tea Steam. The Jays, old and battered, haven’t had a practice but aim to put those Tea punks in their place.
"This off-season, both Bontes became dads of two. Labrie gained another 10 but also gained more dad power. Tayson still hasn’t hit puberty. Trey and DeBalls are still bash bro’ing it up. Jack Sparo wants his name back, but not this year, fella. Steckler is going to be a dad. Splett still roams the outfield like a pro. Jesse now has his brother Dylan to ride to games with and play catch. Paulson was on the team then quit. Koch is back, probably going to have to catch this year. Flanny has been pumping iron in the off-season, and his grandma is still our number 1 fan. We added a dude that hits bombs named Ed. Chutes is so old he doesn’t even count as a release anymore. And Coach Vanhove is on his last hurrah, although he says that every year.
"Here’s to a season of fun, not pulling a hammy, and hopefully winning a couple of games! Go Jays!"
The next game for the Blue Jays will be tonight (Thursday) at 7:00 p.m. at Tandberg Field. Let's go cheer them on!
