Cincinnati CoBALTS Baseball Club

After Hurricane Wilma forced a 7-Game-in-4-Day schedule, the Cobalts posted an impressive 5-2 record in the AAAA Bracket of the Roy Hoobs World Series...Good enough to win a Bronze Medal. Wins over New Jersey UTEK, Naples RS Walsh Landscaping, Chattanooga Kodak Reds, Atlanta Orioles, and Toledo Harry Young Builders. Losses came to eventual champions Charlotte Kings and the re-match against Harry Young. Tom Taylor was named MVP after averaging more than 2 hits per game and playing great defense at SS despite a sore knee. Some Highlights of a great Tournament: * Lanai Kai Cold Showers * Akes' Winning the Beach Ball Toss at the Lanai Kai * Coach dominating No Limit Hold'em at the Lanai Kai * Saturday night stabbings outside Willy's room at the Lanai Kai * Disturbing Dave Prosser's Love-Swing on the top of the Lanai Kai * Bo parking the Lit'l Boy Bomb at the Lanai Kai * Rocky crashing the gates of the Lanai Kai * Cat Girl over-serving Vic at the Lanai Kai (I'm sawing my steak) * Doug and Keith chatting late night at the Lanai Kai * White Chocolate breakin' it down at the Lanai Kai * Glen being trapped in Mrs. Coach's car after going AWOL at the Lanai Kai * The smell of bar stench in the morning at the Lanai Kai * Jason and Dougy's 6 Waffle House meals across from the Lanai Kai Appreciate the efforts of all the Cobalts who kept with the program and made it down to Ft. Myers despite the 2 seperate delays in schedules. We could easily have bagged the entire thing but we showed the true meaning of "Teammates" by all getting down there and finishing with a strong 3rd place. As always, I thanks each and every Cobalt and their families...looking forward to 2006!!!
