What happens when you call the city to let them know that, ever Wed. the field lights go out in the middle of our kickball games? The answer: Absolutely nothing.
The kickball faithful playing past 9pm at Jimmy Ochoa field have been plagued by lighting mishaps. First the Multiple Scoregasms and the Pirates! had to have their game postponed last Wed. because someone at the Parks Dept. was either too lazy or just didn't care enough to make sure that the field lights, on a paid field - mind you, were on the right timer schedule. Now that might sound a little harsh, especially considering that Dennis, one of the permit directors, is been really working with us to make sure that the fields are always playable and we have what we need. All we have to do now is make sure the rest of the Parks Dept. is as helpful. However you should never bite the hand that feeds so for now all we can really do is hope and pray that the light timer gets fixed, eventually. Although I have been guaranteed that they will be by this coming Wed. We shall see.
The good news is that the two teams affected by the blackout this week, I'd Hit It and Red Hot Cherry Poppers, were able finish their game at the big dominating Shocker Stadium. Special thanks goes out to Bobby & Cimi of the Pirates!, Chavo of Beavers & Balls, and Jose & Domingo of the Billy Bad Asses for filling in for some missing Popper personnel, that couldn't stay to finish the game. An ever bigger thank you ultimately goes out to Coach Lucas of I'd Hit It, for making a Gentleman's agreement that did not not require the Poppers to keep with the SCK Pick-Up Rule and letting them pick up extra players to ensure an exciting, even game.
SCK Pick Up Rule
7.9 If a team does not have enough registered players to field a team they
will be allowed to pick up other registered league players to field a team.
Teams will only be allowed to pick up enough females to get you to the minimum
three. Also teams will only be allowed to pick up enough players to get you to 8
players after the 3 female minimum is met.
