Opening Day:

Monday 4/19/10
9pm
Spring View Field.

South Oakland Ducks of the North Side
vs.
The Fightin Rafalski's


Brian Rafalski, Olympic Medalist, Stanley Cup Champion, Patriot.

Only Kenny Powers' new bff, Cane's head coach, Randy Shannon, knows if we'll get reigning League MVP Brian Rafalski on the hill when we play the Fightin's

Fightin's Head Coach ponders the Sto-ROx opening day starter

The Hurricanes couldn't have won two best of three series en-route to the title if they were a one man team.

Unable to get past the Fightin's for the title last season

Ask the Sox how it was trying to hit Rekker with the title on the line last season. Regardless of who they throw, this game will give us an idea of how close we are to a championship caliber team.

Three days till the first pitch.

I'm lookin' for writer in residence, Swoosh, to give us a post between now and Monday.

Barnstorming Bandits '10

Good news Ducks! Even though we're not officially a 2010 NABA team (according to the league website) we already have teams jockeying to play us.

The Fightin' Eddies of the Butler-Eagle County Baseball League have informed me that they would like to celebrate our nation's past time by playing a game our two against the South Oakland Ducks. I received a request from occasional Duck, PCB alum and coach of the Fightin' Eddies, Christian Necheff. A requested time for a game would be any of the upcoming Saturdays or Sundays. Location TBD.

As a baseball enthusiast myself, I've had the opportunity to play with the Eddies, so I figured I'd give you a little information about the team from Natrona Heights.

First of all, most of them are convicts:


But since this is can be a common theme in the NABA (read Black Sox), the Ducks should have no issues with this. And although their name might suggest otherwise, the Eddies do more than just Fightin'. This spokeswoman from Natrona Heights can verify that the Eddies enjoy an oat soda every now and then.

Yikes

The Eddies are a good team that can play some baseball and have fun at the same time, much like the Ducks. So anybody who's in for playing some non-league games in the next couple weeks as a warm-up, let me know and we'll get a game or two set up.

Speaking of non-league games, now is the time to start planning the Barnstorming Tour of '10. Last year was a good start; the weekend in Erie was a great success. The tournament in Butler County was a rather different story. However, that should only encourage the Ducks to increase their barnstorming for 2010.

If for nothing else, there's always a good possibility of this happening

What red-blooded American doesn't want to watch that thing burn down?

Ducks Barnstorming Tour '10 is set to begin.
