Not only did I get rejected form Survivor before filming
began, they dropped me off on another island and left me there to rot. Fortunately due to my superior intellect and
physical shape, I was able to swim my way back to civilization. It only took 9 months and I’m now back with
2 weeks to spare before the 2012 Railroader season begins.
I see there is some changes in the OVL with a new team
added, the Hoptown Hoppers? Now that’s
a novel name and I like it! Also I see
the Tradewater Pirates have moved their base of operations to
Madisonville. I suppose the damage to
last year’s hideout was too much to repair.
Both the Bobcats and Oilers remain, and I’m sure they have big plans for
2012 as well.
Then we have our Railroaders, look’in good and getting ready
to roll. The new manager Albert
Destrade, a true Survivor, is leading a core of 6 veteran Railroaders from 2011
along with a couple of former Bobcats and one hometown player. There is a good-looking group of newbies
also. The roster looks to be shaping up
for another great season of baseball in 2012 at the “Yard!”
Opening night is Friday night, June 1, at the Yard as the
Hoppers come to town and make their OVL debut.
Should be an interesting game to start the season. And on Saturday, June 2, the Railroaders
remain at home and host last years season champion Oilers. The Railroaders ended last year’s post
season playoffs defeating the Oilers twice in a doubleheader at Owensboro to
win the playoff title. I’m sure the
Oilers didn’t like that and will be reminded that this is their chance to get a
little payback.
