The picture contains two of our senior softball players - but here they are in the 1990's and basketball was their sport. The two were on opposite sides of the playing spectrum. We won't say who was where - you guess. But both were great teammates then as they are now. Great competitors and great friends.
Name the dynamic duo.
One of the most classic HOF speeches you'll ever hear. Give it a listen.
Apparently the following has been in editing for a couple weeks but we're excited to finally report the "Battle of the Nonagenarians".
The long awaited and highly anticipated pitching duel was held at Melas Park on the sun laden morning of Friday, October 1st. Al Silverman scoured the Phoenix area for 'The Best of the West" and flew in 93 year old youngster Mike Palizzi. The stage was set for the face off against the Midwest's favorite son the 90 year old youngster ace Don (SKIP) Kronberg.
The media was in a frenzy anticipating the clash. The crowd reportedly overflowed the stands on the now infamous 'B' diamond. S.R.O. was the sign of the day. Scalpers made a killing selling front row tickets.
The game finally started and lived up to expectations. Both pitchers actually had a credible shot at a no-hitter... UNTIL the first inning. First and third basemen covered their respective lines like a junk yard dog guarding the meaty bone of a T-Bone steak. Middle infielders assumed the steel curtain, no holes defense. Outfielders floated through the gaps like they had wings on. Not an error was made... well until the 2nd batter.
In the end only one nonagenarian could take a victory lap. And yes, the Midwest's favorite son and winner of the 2021 Melas Park Cy Young (REALLY YOUNG) Award - Skip Kronberg walked away undefeated!
KUDO's to both gentlemen - Mike Palizzi and Skip Kronberg. You're an inspiration to the other 170 youngsters at Melas Park!
