All-Stars & Motor Kings
New faces.
Same results.
Well the Summer 2002 season kicked off this
past Sunday in grand fashion.
The All Stars once again swept the opening
week of softball but this time
they did so with a host of new faces.
Of the 15 players on the opening day roster
only 7 were held over from
Summer 2001.
With the core still intact the additions of quality players at
key positions will help bring the All Stars
back to the top.
Brian Gallagher was the most noticeable
addition at SS. Batting leadoff,
Brian provided the spark needed at the top of
the lineup as well as a
Spectacular glove in the field. Third base is now occupied in part by Rick
Suflay and Matt Brownstein who will both help
solidify the one position which
Has plagued the All Stars in years past. Rick brings with him a nice bat and a great
Attitude.
Bringing in Jeff Kwiatkowski, Matt Reece, and Michael Rooney have given
the
All Stars chemistry, which was much needed in
2001. Jeff provided solid
leadership on the diamond and worked wonders
with veteran Pitchers Matt
Pomara and Mike Schroeder.
All in all a great start of the season. The new All Stars will no doubt look
To this season as a new beginning and
hopefully restore the glory to the
ABA's most storied Franchise.
.
