On the road with the Friendship League!

We are all back from an excellent time in the thriving town of Fort Wayne, Indiana!  Happy to report that much fun was had by all who could go, and we hope to have established a new tradition of an annual League Road Trip.  The stories will be told for a while, the early morning action at Firesetter's, I mean Firekeeper's Casino, the mandatory moonshine shots, the circuitous route from the Dash In to the Hoppy Gnome, the magical repeat appearances all night by a stranger in a Derek Jeter shirt, the less-than-successful efforts of Pat and Dave to snare even a single cannon-propelled t-shirt during our on-field promotion, and much much more.  Big thanks to PJ for hooking us up with tickets AND the on-field stuff! 




FIRST ever league games played in a moving vehicle!  And first games played across states lines!

Jonny TinCap welcomes the Friendship League to scenic Fort Wayne



Those team index cards don't just appear on draft day, they made
an appearance in "The Fort" as well!

First stop of our pub crawl - JK O'Donnell's "TV less" Irish Pub. 
And yes, league games played here as well! 

Happy Strat-O-Matic players at the Hoppy Gnome,
by far the cream of the Fort Wayne's crop for the bar scene

Pat and Randy take a break from a hotly contested
Kansas City vs Wichita battle!

A happy crew after another TinCaps home victory!

Which of these is NOT a current Friendship League member?

Game on, at the Dash-In bar/coffee shop/general hipster joint!

Cheers!

Great seats for the game!

Will try to add some more pictures and hopefully videos as others can pass them on.  Thanks to all who went and made it such a fun time!  We will try to do a better job scheduling this next time so more can attend, end of summer is so busy for many and was a shame that some just couldn't make this event.  Looking forward to Friendship League 'On the Road 2016'!

Blockbuster Trade Announced

Las Vegas - The Las Vega$ Fremonts announced a major mid-season trade today sending 'Monts fixture Jonny Gomes to Philadelphia for outfielder Carlos Beltran. Gomes is hitting .310 this season in a part-time role and impressed Phog scouts going 5 for 8 against them earlier this season.

Beltran is hitting a brisk .171 in 2014 but looks to have a career renaissance in 2015.

Gomes, the Fremont's third round pick in the 2012 draft, finishes the Las Vegas chapter of his career with a .247 average, 16 home runs and a 1.7 WAR.

In his press conference, Gomes expressed his gratitude to the Las Vegas fans and his excitement to join the Phog in their playoff push. 

The person responsible for this suit, however, remains at-large.
