Sophmore year in the Cacti (little adult) League

Monday, January 5th, at three o'clock, at the north end of Sawtelle in Himmel Park.

Last season we oozed enthusiasm but lacked bodies. Monday we had 4 to a team and it was

dangerous and exciting.

(lft to rght) Steve Romaniello, Bob Campbell, Gail Marcus Orlen, Carl Hanni, Jefferson Carter, Tim Fuller and our mighty violinist and fielder Robert Villa. more came an hour or so later.

`around the horn' with Romaniello at bat.

Carl Hanni directing...Steve walking

(2 me) Gail is our star athlete (she goes to the gym everyday but Sunday). She can bat, run for the injured, hit and see.

one of us is NOT straight up and down. Anna...you decide.

Romaniello goes down at first while the fielders argue the call (O U T)

I collided with myself after a mighty swing. Actually I think I caught my Nike spike in something.
