Game 6

In the field, the Spitballs stayed sharp despite shuffling people around to different positions. The team turned double plays and ran down fly balls in no man's land, chugging beers all the while. One statistic that makes the defensive showcase even more impressive is the team BPI for this week. There were 61 beers put away out of 48 innings for a season high BPI of 1.271. One leader in this category was the captain at the helm for the Spitballs, Danny Kaminsky (Hacksaw). Hacksaw threw a complete game shutout with an unprecedented 2 strikeout performance. Coincidentally his 2.0 strikeouts per game are the same as the 2.0 BPI he turned in on Sunday (8 beers, 4 innings). He has a good day at the plate going 1-2 with a double and a run scored, and he brought a sweet new game to play in the parking lot. For the first time that I know of, the Spitballs enjoyed a few games of ladder golf before and after the game. Most of these factors individually would be enough to make the nomination, but with all of them put together, there's no doubt that Danny "Hacksaw" Kaminsky is this week's Player of the Week and Heavyweight Champion of the Diamond. It's not surprising that he earned this award this year coming from such a blood-line. The Great Bobby Heenan once pointed out about Hacksaw's relatives, ""His grandmother was a taped fist champion. His father was an Irish Setter." Hacksaw was quoted as saying after the game, "Yes, taking a shower is a high-risk maneuver for me and yes, there's a ring around my tub, but there's also one around my finger." Keep up the great work Hacksaw!
