Our good friend, Josh Hall, is now pitching for the Harrisburg Senators, the Double A affiliate of the Washington Nationals. I had the good fortune to be both a groomsmen at Josh's wedding and his battery mate at EC Glass for many years. Rumor has it that Josh was also Bev's first boyfriend at Linkhorne Elementary School. Oh, the scandal! Josh made his big league debut in 2003, when he pitched in six games for the Cincinatti Reds. That season he gave up a homerun to one juicer (Barry Bonds), but struck out another (Sammy Sosa). Josh has been slowed recently by some arm and shoulder troubles, but it's only a matter of time until he makes it back to the show. The Show -- where you hit white balls for batting practice, the ballparks are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains. Bev and I hoping to watch Josh pitch this summer when the Senators play in New Britain, CT or Portland, ME. Unless, of course, he's pitching in Washington by then.

My roommate's boyfriend used to play professional baseball...I believe he played for whoever the Mets farm team is, but I can't remember. (His good friend and former teammate is one of the current pitchers for the Major League Mets!) I will have to ask him if he ever played Josh's team...I'm sure he did!
