Teammate,
 
We need a head count for this event...If you have not noticed yet, Melissa is one of the players' wife, so we expect everyone out there.  Treat this event like it is a home game...everyone should come out. We have the chance to show the community who we really are...
 
Jeff or Joe...could get the Dark Blue Jerseys to wear for this event?

In a mHello,
I am really happy that many of you are thinking of coming to the park.  The Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley is a baseball program for children with special needs.  The children's disabilities range from children with autism to children with physical disabilities.  The only requirement to play Miracle League baseball is that they could not play for a typical baseball team.  There are 300 children who play Miracle League baseball.  Each child belongs to their own team just like any other little league and play every week.  We have 8 games a week at the park from May through October.  

I am the only employee of the Miracle League, and need 300 Volunteers a week to run the ball park.  Each child is paired with a volunteer to be their "angel in the outfield".  What that means is that you hang out with the kids for two inning of baseball and help them play.  Some children need help batting and catching the ball, others hit home runs out of the park and just need good company.  It is really a great time.  Miracle League is non competitive, so every child is up to bat until they hit the ball, each child takes a base at time, and the last batter in the inning automatically hits a grand slam home run to clear the bases and then take the out field.  The game is always tied at the end by the magic of the score board.

I think it would be a great idea to wear your rugby jerseys, and you can also solicit some media if you want, I could see the head line now, "Come See The Miracle of The Softer Side of Rugby".

We need at least 12 people to come help!

It is really a lot of fun.  I have the best job ever.  

The field is located at: 5858 Sell Road, Schnecksville PA 18078.  Basically you take 22 West to 309 North.  (be sure to stay on 309 N, there will be a split where you will have to turn left to stay on 309 at a wachovia, otherwise you will end up on 873) About 9 miles from the 22 exit you will see a big white barn on your left hand side the instructs you to make your next left on sell road.  Right after the trees you will see the park on the right hand side, it says Jaindl Family Park, that is the Miracle League field.  

Please let me know if you need any more info.  Our web site is www.miracleleaguelv .org

Reno,
 
You are correct, this is a great opportunity for us to show the community that we are a team that cares about the community.  It will show the community that we are also a strong team off the pitch.
 
Reno or Melissa, could you give us more information on this event?  Location?  How many people you need?
 
Count me in...it will be great if we could get either LVRFC shirt for this event or wear some type of clothing (Jersey) showing the community who we are.
 
Thoughts anyone?
 
Milton - Spot

Boozer vs. Corn Update: “Hot Dog Eating”

An evening to be remembered for sure…

The first majorly spectated event for the BVCICGF. If you weren’t there, you missed out.

    With 20+ in attendance this was truly a spectacle. Both competitors undertook a major effort to train for this event through research and starvation in the three days they had to prepare. This left a rather cranky “Corn” and “thirsty” “Boozer” complaining for the better part of an hour before the competition about how hungry they were. Both were very anxious to compete in this event.

At 8:25 the introductions were done. This included the star spangled banner and boxing style entrance into the arena (the back yard). Rules were as follows: 15 Oscar Mayer beef franks and buns per competitor. First to finish all 15 or most complete hot dog + buns that were consumed in 5 minutes would win. Both hotdog and bun must be eaten to count. You could eat a quarter of a dog as long as ¼ of both dog and bun were eaten. At the 5 minute mark anything in the mouth may be chewed and swallowed but nothing maybe added to the mouth. Any regurgitation would disqualify.

            With Drew and I in close observance, at the start, both competitors used similar strategy, dunking buns in water and eating dogs separately.  Despite the crowd’s heckles and raucous demeanor both participants remained focused and went neck and neck until the 4:45 second mark. At that point Mike dealt what looked like the deathblow to boozer and went ahead with a huge final bite of ½ of a dog. The event seemed to have gone to Mike as boozer was at that point spent. At the five minute mark both competitors had 9 dogs down and mike with an additional mouthful of his 10th dog. Mike had a very full mouth. When he went to respond to his girlfriend's question/comment, a large piece of dog was ejected from his mouth. (see pics, we have the exact moment of expulsion).

Mike was not allowed to return the ejected piece of meat to his mouth and it was returned to his plate of uneaten dogs. Of course this started a major controversy. The BVCICGF Officials inspected the piece of ejected meat and decided to go into seclusion to decide the fate of the event, all while the now bloated Corn and Boozer fought about it outside for 15 minutes.

The Officials consulted, and giving plenty of time for the drama to unfold, the decision was made; not being satisfied with mikes effort on the 10th dog and per professional competitive eating competition rules it was decided we would have a 5 dog eat off, much to the competitors dismay. We gave them 15 minutes to digest. The overtime would be first to 5 dogs or most finished in 15 minutes. Both competitors used this time to try and burn off what they just ate. Boozer swam in the pool, mike jumped rope.

With drew now peppering us with very selective musical accouterments such as, “highway to the danger zone” and “ the final count down”, the overtime period commenced.

Boozer came out steady and by the 10 minute mark he had 4 of 5 down compared to Mike’s 1 1/2. Seemingly ahead, all he had to do was “hold his lunch” until the bell. Mike having had his fill of lips, assholes and nitrates, tried to play the time card and let boozer puke before time was up. Boozer, with eyes and stomach bulging, was in true sportsman fashion able to hold on and take the event.

Not long after the official decision Boozer let loose the medium of his victory into a Home depot bucket ( see pics). Mike attempted to make his evacuation less public and went behind the fence by the pool equipment only to be caught by the camera of Mr. Chris McGee who drove 10 hours to attend this event as his first stop on his 10,000 mile US road trip.

The competition stands at a very close 9-8, Corn over Boozer.
