Something very unusual happened week two.  Perfect weather.  I thought I fell asleep and woke up in Southern California.  This week the league would like to welcome some special Olympians from St. Camillus Special Olympics.  They will be setting up a net and playing alongside us.  They want to be known as the Volley Warriors.  Feel free to stop by and cheer them on.

The team formally known as Abbracciamentos took the young Turks from the Sugar Bowl three games to two.  The taller, older Abbracciamentos used every trick in the book to overcome sped and `youth.  In the end though---size matters.

   Simon Says Sea Bar took five straight ………losses.  Oh well you can’t win them all.  The Flip Cup All Stars beat the Mighty Boosh 4-1.  Who need Tricia? They have Tyrone!  They have their sights on Ozone Layers.  Pier 92 Pirahanas just broke their own record from last year. They won three games which is one more than they won all last year.  The Harbor Light is not happy.  It’s kind of like giving up Roger Maris’s 61ST home run.  Yet again, the Pirahanas have creatively personalized their jerseys. They are the Andy Warhol’s of the league.  

The Beach House took four from whoever they played.  Eileen couldn’t remember.  Bob Fash was not there due to real estate courses he has been taking.  Without Janet and Bob, the Beach House has lost only one game all year.   Any comparison to Ethel and Julias Rosenberg is merely speculative.   The New Irish Circle would like to welcome Debbie back after her maternity leave and she is better than ever. They won either two or three (see standings).  Apparently the Bay House Babes left booby traps……on their side of the court.  Steve G. as always is a pain in the a__ _.   If the rest of the team shows up at the parties it would certainly add to team morale.     The Sands Point Physical Therapy lost to Blarney Castle four games to one.  Youth over experience.   Sands Point is waiting for your pulled muscles. Jimmy and Peggy are off to Hawaii.  What does Hawaii have that Riis Park doesn’t?  Welcome back Jake.   He is now 18.   EZ Knights had a great turnout on the Beach but most went to an AARP meeting instead of going to the Kerry Hills for some great food and cocktails.  Jack Weber is not only getting old but now he is acting old. 

The Senior Living Sharks put the bite on last year’s division champs, Connolly’s, due to the fact that Jack (the sissy Mead) quit the team. Steve showed up late due to T-Ball finals.  Priorities.  Dennis Clark, be on notice-you live on Beach 127th you play for Connolly’s.  Be advised the Cookie Runs are Thursday at Beach 94th at 7 PM.  26 weeks to go, did you get your invitation to the limited wedding?

Jimmy, the youngest Shark, reminded the team of how they used to play with some good overall play.  The team came back for some soft food and hard liquor.   Thanks to Carmel for the great and ample food at the Kerry Hills.  It is always abundant, home cooked and terrific.  It’s like going to grandmas for dinner. When Cubby walked in at 1200 o’clock he was astounded that there was still food.  The Kerry Hills not only put out a terrific spread but had food all night long.  The Kerry Hills have raised the bar very high for the other sponsors. The Kerry Hills won two out of five games against the over confident Wave/Kings Pharmacy.  Katherine met a new man tonight but unfortunately he is not of age for the bar.  Rob you are warned…..no gym before the game.  Mike Stone was not there due to an important date.  How old is she? Is it true she TiVo’s the cartoon network?   To the rest of the Kerry Hills team……..learn to keep the ball in bounds.   See ya----F.

It’s All Good when you’re on center stage!  After being in the boon docks and feeding the plovers---we are back.  Was it Baby Love that inspired cement shoes and TBG to pick up their game?  Paris had a furlough---15 points for her.  Will she be back next week?  And, as far as Baby Love goes, where does that put Kim, Mary and Marybeth?  Seal how was medal day?  The Postmaster General is on the lookout for TBG, no deliveries due to four games of awesome MVP play. Was that Mr. Happy checking out your game?  

Oh where oh where was the co captain and ‘Blondie? Luckily Last Call’s captain came out to help the team win four games.  Greg Costanstanza needs to keep his flapping towel in the right spot.  Just ask your girlfriends and we will help you out.  If  J and J don’t show up next week the back hoe and team will show up at your house for a luxurious swim----Beware!  Gabriella where are you?  Rumor has it she was out scouting for Sunday’s trash to treasure.   Costanza states Obyrne should inquire in the gym if they have coordination classes……please enroll.

Spotlight:  Every once in awhile we like to focus on people involved with the league that bring something different or interesting to the table.  This week we interviewed  Tony Redunzo, sponsor, owner and chef de cuisine of Redunzo’s round pizza.  Hey Tony, how come you only have round pizza and no squares?  That’s the way I bought the place.    It only came with round and rectangular pans so we couldn’t make square.  Plus it was too confusing.   Tony is originally from Red Hook, Brooklyn and had some reputation with the ladies. “That’s right I was known as the Make Out Man of Red Hook.”  In fact I was never on a date I didn’t make out on.”   Wow! That’s hard to believe.  “We’ll one girl didn’t want to make out but I loosened her up with a couple of fancy cocktails.  “ Yeah, they were one ounce bottles of Southern Comfort.”   How did you come to live in  Rockaway?  “We’ll you see I  knocked up-- err-  impregnated Ten Ton Tony Jaboni’s  daughter and he wanted me to marry her”  “ I tried, but the judge said no because I already had a wife and kids. “  “They got some kind of crazy rule about not being able to get married if you are already married.”  “So I had to hide from him.  I changed my name from Anthony Redunzo to Tony Redunzo and “disappeared” to Rockaway.”   Aren’t you worried he will read this in the Wave?  “No, the Wave is a Queens’s paper and he lives in Brooklyn.”  I don’t know Tony Redunzo well, but I would guess he is not a threat to win final jeopardy.    

Please bring the nets up after the games as soon as possible. We can’t leave until the last net and shovel is put away.
