The 2009 edition of the Elmwood Elkhorns is showing a lot of promise early. The Summer GM (who never sleeps, especially if there is still some left in the 40 ouncer) has been busy assessing new talent, trading players, and managing Hugh's ego."All is set and pretty much ready to go" indicated Summer. "We may move up to 4th division, as a matter of fact I counted on it and moved players accordingly."
In two seasons "The Herd" has finished as "B side" Champs and in 2008 lost the gremlins that foiled them and cruised to victory as "A side" champs.
"It's about winning, having fun, and good times with friends, in THAT order" noted the Elkhorn GM.
This years edition welcomes a few new players:
Les , a player of many talents, noted for quickness on the bags and a bat that impressed Presto last year. "I saw the Elkhorns in the playoffs and was impressed with the talent and thought it might be a good fit to showcase my abilities" boasted Les.
Nadine, a spin off out of Soulmans Misfits was on the unrestricted free agent market. "I snapped her up real quick, scouting reports were solid with this one" boasted Summer.
Sharon just may be the diamond in the rough..."we lost a pitcher, I hear she has a pretty good knuckler, that pretty much iced" said Summer.
Negotiations are still going on for one more undicslosed female player... all that can be said right now is that she is hard core Elmwood!
We are glad to have the rest of the team back.
Hugh Glove, who was looking for a trade after being benched for killing the Texas Mickey with out the GM's has been in spring training and is ready to go after an off season injury.

First one at 6:20...
Summer your usual linguistic style would leave most men (& women) speechless, but as Hugh's best friend and brother Hugh Caulk says before every game...SIZE does matter! Like everything about Hugh (Huge Bat, Glove etc...) Hugh's heart is big and his sense of humor even bigger! I'm still not sure where you got your hands on my Choir Boy picture, but I'm going to make a call to Father Mulcahey, I told him he could take that picture, but he could never it share it with anyone!
Looking forward to a great season summer. Summer ASS did a good job on opening day, but we miss ol' Summer kicking up the dust!
Your truly, Hugh
