Violators Open A Can on Team Quality!!!

The Page 13 Violators took an early lead on Team Quality Friday night and they never looked back. That’s right, we gave them a wallop with the final score of 14-3. We had near perfect play from everyone in the field and very productive hitting. Team Quality was having a hard time giving us pitches as they walked half our batters, Amber walked twice, Brian was very stingy as he took close to 10 pitches before he walked. Amber gets the PLAY OF THE...

The Violators Get Back on Track in a BIG Way!

That’s right, the Violators goose-egged Vertigoz on Friday night with a score of 7-0. The best part about it was that we had prime talent out on the field. We led off with solid hitting from line up led by Brian Lefholz, Matt Rudolph, James Engler, Fran Montanari, Leah Polcyn, and company. The defense was also at its peak with highlights from James Engler as he single handedly made a double play, catching a line drive and quickly tagging an unsuspecting...

The article is a good read for general knowledge on how to save energy as well as calculate your carbon foorprint...Click Here. My carbon footprint is calculated at 23,195 pounds of carbon per year, mostly due to the amount of round trip flights via Southwest Airlines. Shannon's footprint was 11,463.

Gold Country Hike

Last weekend I had the opportunity to introduce Brian and Abbie to the heart of the Gold Country with a hike down into the American River Canyon. Starting at 1,700 feet in Applegate down to an elevation of 700 feet at the North Fork of the American River. This was accomplished on a 2.5 mile abandoned dirt road. At the bottom we encountered some off roaders who attempted to cross the river in their unprepared trucks. Needless to say they got stuck...

Violator's Fall to 1-1

As we gathered for our pre-game warm up we were feeling pretty good about our chances. After all...we were undefeated. As we took the field behind, our star pitcher Matt Rudolph, I couldn't help but notice the lack of electricity in the air. You see, our 6 time gold glove winning short-stop James was unavailable for the game do to illness. But we picked our heads up and did the best we could without his usual constant direction on how to play the game. The infield (Jeff, Elsa, Amber) played an almost perfect game. Jeff was either lucky or good...

THE VIOLATOR’S RUN AWAY WITH THEIR FIRST WIN OF SPRING!!!

(Read in your best Howard Cosell voice...)As the Page 13 Violators took the field and shook off the jitters, they picked up where they left off last season with the drive to win. The season started against Team Harvest, a team formed by a local Citrus Heights church, full of positive energy. The Violators were first to bat and quickly got on the scoreboard to show that the new wood bats didn’t faze them. Once we took the field, we also took over and held off the churches advances of scoring, with the exception of our second basewoman Amber Seevers...

April Fools Day

There exists a small but stealthy rebel force at WP who celebrate a non-traditional holiday known as April Fools Day. This is a day when the true comedic talents of people like Tye and Brian can really shine. Numerous high jinks were played throughout the office, however we found ourselves wanting to create a more memorable substantial shenanigan. And then the queen mother of all pranks presented itself. We found ourselves in possession of Naaz Alikan’s...
