The Players
*Team A*
	Frank Orrei Age: 29 Height: 6'0" Weight: 190 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Sparky" is the consummate athlete. Hits with power to all fields and is a dominant pitcher. However, he is indecisive at times. His biggest problem is deciding what pitch throw next and what time to leave for the shore.
	Mike Rottina Age: 28 Height: 6'2" Weight: 175 Bats: Both Throws: Right Home Town: Lansdale, PA	"Scrottina" was once a white kid, then he was a basketball player, a rapper, a drunk, a frat boy, a ladies man, a rapper again, a Navy Seamen, and now a white kid again, "Nigga Please". Well rounded wiffle ball player, he can do it all. Is especially tough on the mound when Method Man or Notorious B.I.G. is playing. Will be making the trip up with his nigga's in da hoop-d (with his brother Dan in a Pinto). Big Stern fan..."Fuck Jackie".
	Mike Gagliardi Age: 27 Height: 5'8" Weight: 205 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Bloomfield, NJ	"Blue" has been working out for the last year in preparation for this tournament. He has put on 40 pounds of muscle by taking steroids. He is known for his quick bat and surprising power. Can be erratic on the mound. You never know if the pitch is going to be a strike or at your face. He is never wrong, which may be of some concern since the tournament is being played at his house.
*Team B*
	Mike Finan Age: 30 Height: 5'9" Weight: 195 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Fin" is the creator of the term "In Your Mouth". He is a good fielder and was a stand-out catcher in high school. Hits to the opposite field because he can't pull the ball. Gets fired up easily after a couple of beers. Never wears a hat because they do not make hats that big. Between games you can find him at the work station.
	Steve Tice Age: 30 Height: 6'1" Weight: 215 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Duck" was an excellent baseball player in High School and College. Great pitcher and hitter, who unfortunately developed arm trouble. Makes up for lack of foot speed by trying to hit the ball deep. Steve actually made it on the field for the Newark Bears this season, but was released immediately after he tackled the Bear's mascot near third base in a recent game. He was never called up again. "Funny guy, funny guy".
	Bobby Fallen Age: 31 Height: 5'10" Weight: 175 Bats: Left Throws: Left Home Town: Belleville, NJ	With "The Babe" around, no girls are safe. He hits on anything that moves, that's why my dog Roxy will be staying at home. This kid uses more lines than Darryl Strawberry. His favorite thing to do is to the bring candy to Bon Jovi concerts to meet 16 year old girls. If you are coming to the games, watch you women. You know Bobby will be!
*Team C*
	Angelo Crocco Age: 31 Height: 5'5" Weight: 130 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	Deep from within the ripest tomato vines comes, "Crazy Curveball Crocco". With his keen ability to stun his opponents with his 1-2 meatball changeup, hot pepper sandwich slider and pizza paddle plunker, he has caught the eye of many European scouts. "Angoli", as they call him in the old country, plans to graduate from What's A Matta U. with a bachelors degree in cooking. "Croc", attributes all of his successes, on and off the field, to his pitching coach, "Mutt-Z". Which in the old country is short for mozzarella. When "Double A" is not stalking Alyssa Milano, you can find him shining up his WWF belt while watching "Girls Gone Wild, Sorority Sweethearts". You probably know Double A from his famous phone calls on the Howard Stern Show, with his catchy phrase, "Hey Howard...". "AA" stated, "I will carry my whole team on my back to the championship". Let's hope it is a small team.
	George Speer Age: 31 Height: 5'7" Weight: 175 Bats: Left Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Napoleon" is an athlete/ball-buster. If you screw up, he will surely let you and everyone else know about it. Solid in every part of the game, which makes it hard to bust on him. If he has too many beers and decides to rip on you, it will be a long day. Hopefully he doesn't make an appointment for his eyebrows to get waxed because he may be late for the game.
	Mike Thompson Age: 31 Height: 6'0" Weight: 205 Bats: Left Throws: Left Home Town: Belleville, NJ	Mike is another former baseball player. He is rather quiet until he starts drinking. If he doesn't drink, you might not even know he is there. If he does, that's another story and my wife better run for the hills before he rips her a new ass-hole. He is also the first player in the league to drive a Mercedes, which will be used as the bull pen car.
*Team D*
	Mike Powers Age: 29 Height: 5'10" Weight: 190 Bats: Left Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Ed" (Munster), or "Clark" (Griswald), is a solid all-around player with obviously too much time on his hands (he put this whole thing together). May have a slight home-field advantage, but he's probably not the same player he once was, due to the extra weight he has put on. Could hurt his team by leaving early to go walk his dog and to hang Christmas lights.
	Ron Capriglione Age: 29 Height: 5'2" Weight: 165 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Squirrel" or "Joe Boo", will make the trip from NYC via tree branches and power lines, which he will be complaining about for weeks if he doesn't win. He has a compact batting style which makes him look smaller than he really is. Good hitter, pitcher and fielder. His real strength is bitching about everyone and everything. He is a wiffle ball legend and we will see if he can live up to that title.
	Joe Thompson Age: 27 Height: 6'3" Weight: 200 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Big Toe Joe" or "Toeseph" Is a good hitter, O.K. pitcher. Hopefully will be well rested after remodeling his basement. Likes to take a lot of cigarette breaks during the game. Probably will be seen "bird watching" between games. "Hey, you got nice feet"! "Who's your Daddy"?
*Team E*
	Doug Carroll Age: 30 Height: 5'10" Weight: 200 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Uncle Doug" is an intense player who hates to lose. He pitches with a beer in his hand which makes his defense less effective, but in his eyes it's a good trade-off. He may be hittable late in the tournament when he gets loaded. Hits well, argues better.
	Marty Conroy Age: 30 Height: 5'10" Weight: 185 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Elmwood Park, NJ	"Party Marty" will wear the "A" shirt to the game. Look for it to come off after a couple of beers when he gets confused and thinks he at the Surf Club. He requested that we play a mix by Jonathan Peters while he's up at bat, or he won't play. Great dancer, we will see if all that practicing in the mirror does anything for his wiffle ball skills.
	Chris Cantarella Age: 29 Height: 5'9" Weight: 130 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Fungo", has good speed and no power. Solid pitcher who knows every stat ever, especially in Girls Softball. Big Orioles fan, (may be the only Orioles fan). Enjoys taking long, slow road trips to Camden Yards with his High School Girls Softball Team. Usually will spend a night or two in a cheap hotel with lots of mirrors on the walls and ceiling, before he decides to tell them that the Orioles are on a road trip.
*Team F*
	Vinnie Orrei Age: 31 Height: 5'10" Weight: 230 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Flintstone", Cantarella and Don Roll will hold a pre-game meal for anybody who is interested at the McDonalds Playland in Bloomfield, NJ. All girls 18 and under that are accompanying you, will receive a free apple pie, and a toothbrush courtesy of Crest. After that, the whole group will take the bus ride to the field, where Vin and Chris will play wiffle ball and the girls will play with...use your imagination.
	Ray Zamloot Age: 30 Height: 6'0" Weight: 190 Bats: Both Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Cheese" is a former basketball star turned wiffle ball player. Good hitter, pitching remains to be seen. He has a chronic gas problem that has plagued him for years. That may be a factor on game day.
	Craig Clinton Age: 31 Height: 5'9" Weight: 185 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Enzley" (???????) won't commit to playing until he knows who is definitely in the tournament. A decent all-around player who has not played in years, so he may be a little "rusty". He's also a fine individual (really can't say much more about him because he'll hold a grudge for the next 10 years). Will probably be wearing his traditional red, white and blue uniform. Good thing that the tournament is in the summer, he doesn't have to choose between flannel #28 or flannel #110.
*The Subs (people who bailed)*
	Billy Lanfrank Age: 30 Height: 5'8" Weight: 185 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Rockaway, NJ	Billy is new to the league and is coming with a reputation as a good ball player and a tough guy. He is the only player that will ride his Harley Davidson to the field on game day, making sure that he pisses off all the neighbors in this quiet community. However, the question begs to be asked, "What the hell is a Lanfrank"?
	John Hromoko Age: 29 Height: 6'1" Weight: 180 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	"Checkers" plans to go to a 4 year college, probably Montclair. His good friends are Frank, Ray, Arnie, Dom, and John. He enjoys playing baseball, basketball, and many other sports. He also listens to music and watches television frequently. His favorite times were in Mrs. Kemlitz's grade 10 Biology and Mr. Cahill's History. He'll always remember messing around in the halls and freezing in March practices.
	Jerry Dalessio Age: 30 Height: 5'8" Weight: 160 Bats: Right Throws: Right Home Town: Belleville, NJ	Jerry is a former basketball stand-out who attributes all of his successes in life to his High School coach, Don Roll. Is a spray hitter and decent pitcher. Will charge the mound if you throw at him. If anyone breaks an arm or something, that's O.K., he will build you a new one.
	The Goat Age: ? Height: 3'5" Weight: 90 Kicks: Right Throws: Has no fingers Home Town: The hills of Europe	"Stinky Nuts" finally got off of the truck and away from the old man and Giarraputo, that fat fuck. Likes to play catch with a tennis ball but not a football, it is too pointy and he has no fingers like you guys. He enjoys going to reggae concerts where he can smoke pot and get passed around the mosh pit. Listens to the AM radio when he gets a chance and wants to watch MTZ some day like the rest of the boys. He is the prize this year for the winning team.
