________________________________ Our fourth Dawg training on March 2 started with an empty field, but this time we don't know why. The weather was wonderful, and we had a great turnout: 14 players. We started out with calisthenics, then Jon Dym's famous relay race, in which groups of three or four players relay the ball to each other for several rounds. The group that comes in last must run around the distant lamp post, at top speed. That is, heart-attack speed, guys. This reporter swears that he came in last only once, but the other guys claimed his group came in last twice. Hmmmmm . . . there must be a conspiracy. We had a few new guys here, many of them found out about the team from this wonderful website. Yecheskel, a new immigrant from Argentina, showed his prowess both behind the plate and at the mound, and Natan Mandel showed us how a real 2nd baseman is supposed to play. We did defensive drills once again, but this time the pitching was a bit more aggressive. Shmuel is pleased at his accurate chang-ups, and later Jeremy gave us all some real heat. For defensive positioning and plays (see "Defensive Positioning" in "Handouts"). Attendance report:Veterans: Shmuel Goldstein, Jon Dym, Jeremy Shai, Danny Epstein, Yaniv Gohary, Lowell Blackman (finally!) Newcomers: Eli Fagan, Steve Kronengold, Yossi Glickman, Hilik Besser, Oren Inbar, Yechezkel Gantz, Natan Mandel, Jake Miller
Next practice (#5): Wednesday, March 5, at Baptist Village in Petach Tikva. Batting cage open from 7:45 to 8:45, team practice from 8 PM to 10 PM. Last practice before our first game. -----------------------------------------------------From our Crazy Reporter, Lowell Blackman

----------------------------------------------------- Our third Dawg training on Feb 19 started with an empty field, and small wonder. The forecast called for stormy, rainy, and cold conditions. But the Dawgs don't know enough to come in out of the rain, and besides, it didn't rain that much. And also besides, how cold can it get in Rishon? After a scare of about 10 minutes of rain, our prayers were answered, and the rain stopped. But the wind continued, and this reporter at least remembers several of Jeremy's fly balls that started to go to right field, and ended up in the next field over. Under the capable tutelage of Jon Dym, the Dawgs started working on team defensive positioning and plays (see "Defensive Positioning" in "Handouts"). In fact, this was just about the whole evening, after a brief throw-relay race in which this reporter never lost. Attendance report:Veterans: Shmuel Goldstein, Jon Dym, Jeremy Shai, Danny Epstein, Yaniv Gohary, Albert Sarkovitz, Robert Even Newcomers: Eli Fagan, Yehudah Kronengold, Roi Cohen, Yossi Glickman, Hilik Besser
Next practice (#4): Sunday, March 2, At the Sport-Kef in Rishon LeTzion, 8 PM (the practice on the 26th was postponed because of the weather). Note that practice #5 will be at Baptist Village. -----------------------------------------------------Year 2003 (click here for more . . . )
