OTS Holiday Party - Wednesday, December 18th
OTS players and their wives/girl friends/partners/significant others are invited to an informal Holiday Get-Together at Fox's Pizza Den from 2:00 to 4:00 on Wednesday, 12/18. Fox's is located next to the Harris Teeter off Rt. 54. This is not the Fox's in Ocean View off Rt. 24 (see link below).
Our very own OTS Elf, Johnny Allen, will be collecting Toys for Tots, the well-known U.S. Marine Corps Reserve program. If you're in the Holiday Spirit, bring an unwrapped new toy with you. If you're more into Grinch mode, come without a present. See link below for more Toys for Tots information.
If you have questions or need more information, contact Keith Purdy at (302) 292-1000 or ktpurdy21@aol.com.
Hope to see everyone there.
(This is not an OTS-sponsored function. You are responsible for your own check, and anyone else's you'd like to pick up.)
Based on the weather forecast, no Winter Ball is planned for 12/10 or 12/12.
The unofficial OTS Winter Ball President provided this information on the controversies from last Thursday's second game:
At the end of game 2 Thursday, there appeared to be two major controversial calls that have since been reviewed (Ed’s video game coverage, satellite images, and personal interviews).
Upon further review, both calls have been upheld.
1. First Baseman (Kerry) did in fact bobble the ball. Runner was safe!
2. Runner (Terry — Mr. Integrity) attempting to score from third base DID NOT cross the official line of no return!
When asked about the play at third base Terry said, “I cannot tell a lie. I did not cross the line and I did not know that my bat was pre-rolled at the factory.”
Therefore, the victory for this game will be officially awarded to Bo Wood’s team.
Speaking of Ed's video game coverage, check out the videos from his helmet cam for last Tuesday's and Thursday's games.

If you're interested in getting email notification of future winter ball games, send Chris Davis an email at chrisjdavis@mchsi.com.
Tuesday was a great day for a ball game. 37 players showed up and it was sunny and warm.
The unofficial president of OTS Winter Softball reported:
Bo and Jesse hand-picked the teams and intentionally swindled their fellow players! They played on the very same team and picked the best players. Obviously, Bo and Jesse’s team won the game.
Many players gathered at the American Legion after the game to start a petition to remove Bo and Jesse from all future OTS Winter Softball games. More news will follow as this story develops!
The weather is looking great for more softball on Thursday. The same schedule will be followed - batting practice from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., 9-inning game to follow.
Chris Davis, aka Johnny Allen, has announced a Winter Ball game on Tuesday, December 3.
Per Chris/Johnny:
Weather looks great for Tuesday, December 3rd. Batting practice from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Nine inning game will follow.
Break out the softball gear and burn off some Thanksgiving calories.
