The much-anticipated San FranciscoWhiffle Ball Invitational 2008 went off gloriously, wonderfully, (almost) without incident. Fueled, in three of the four cases, by beverages in brown bags, the four teams fought it out furiously but respectfully, the green-clad Frog Design Pizza on Fire crossing swords with the black-and-gray Hyphen Magazine Centaurs while the unsurprisingly unkempt Revolver USA/Midheaven Sloth went toe-to-toe with the famously ferocious KQED St. Elmo’s Fire.

The action-packed hour was made all the more entertaining by an impromptu burlesque show that popped up directly next to our games, and before we knew it, there was wrestling, pie-throwing, a wedding dress-clad woman with a microphone, and no less than five fake mustaches. But yes, yes, back to the games: The greenshirts of Frog Design proudly took Hyphen Magazine to task by pummeling them 4-3 in a great show of amphibian force, and Revolver USA/Midheaven, for their part, took KQED’s bragging rights away from them by maintaining their first-inning lead all game (the actual score remains disputed and unknown…). It was a noble effort on the parts of all, but it was Revolver USA/Midheaven and Frog Design who would come out victorious.

And then, most importantly, the teams high tailed it over to Beauty Bar to get a bit (more) intoxicated with joy (read: suds) on Saucony’s tab. Shoes + Booze… for real.
