A time to collect ourselves and remember those that gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep this Country great.The opertunity to enjoy a hot summer cookout with friends. The opertunity to leave work behind for a long weekend of entertainment. And the greatest opertunity, the chance to personally thank a Service Man or Woman for the corage to protect this Country that we all hold dear to our hearts.Thank you all for protecting this country! Thank you for sacrificing your own mid-summer party to keep us safe. Thank you Veterans for what you have done and continue to do for the United States. This day has become more then the Birth Day of the USA, it has become the Pride of the American People.Everyone have a safe and great 4th of July!

Did you not think we were serious?

After having many discussions over the past couple years, Daryl Hutson, Mike Raber and I finally made the journey in for our new wiffleball tattoos. We discussed many options in the past, but always came back to the simple design that everyone knows.

Joe Brainerd returns to the KWL to help the Fightin' Roo's.

One of the newest teams to the league, the Fightin' Roo's, were hanging by a thread with just enough players a week before the start of the regular season. Team captain, Kevin Marszelek ask if I knew of anyone that might want to jump in and help fill up their roster. The next day, I started to thumb through my contacts and making calls to see if I could help out. I contacted a handful of people before finally making the call to recently retired Joe Brainerd. To my surprise, Joe was interested and indeed has decided to continue his KWL career.

After verifying that Joe was under no contact obligations with the Flyin' Wildebeest, he officially joined the new KWL team. After hearing about the return of Joe Brainerd, ex-teammate Matt Kirsch said "I am throwing for his head!" in a joking manor and continued to say "I'm glad Joey is returning, he is great for the league."

An all Rookie squad will be greatly helped by this 3 season veteran and 2-time funstar.

Welcome back Joe! We're glad to have you!
