Just like my mommy told me. We’re all winners in the end. In our first game against Chicago’s Finest (WXRT), we tied 1-1. I’ll have to say, the Shark Attacks had some very stylish plays out on the field. There was diving, rolling into home and one-handed catches that almost made us look like we knew what we were doing.

After bragging about how he pitched a perfect game back in his high school days, Matt actually knew how to pitch. To most of us, we didn’t know he owned a single athletic bone in his body. After striking out twice, he finally gets on base and ultimately loses a Saucony as he tucked and rolled into home to make our one and only run.

Peer pressure won when Ari was forced to wear his fabulous socks in order to be accepted as a true member of the Shark Attacks. I think it improved his performance out on the field. He might have had the most hits and plays out of everybody. Good job, old man.

Joe tries to indimidate the other team with his impression of a shark. Watch out.

Despite a sprained ankle from a night crossed with champagne and the Electric Slide, Lizz showed no sign of weakness as she made a killer play snatching a line drive just as she turned away from Teddy, who was pleading for her attention. 

And last but not least, my victory jump.

Thanks whiffle ball. You sure know how to show us sharks how to have a good time.
