first "long game" softball

"Hey, but you play baseball?"

".. You know, that's cool .."

"But how long is a baseball game?"

"TWENTY-FOUR HOURS"

hehe .. now if someone had asked me, I would certainly responded well.

if when the going gets tough, the tough come to play well .. This was around the tough Faith, Grazialk and myself. Genovese, of course. because when we arrived at the wonderful sport of turin impanto (3 fields!) we were immediately greeted by a forty Piedmontese all eager to take this madness possessed by real doc

in practice the "long game" was a real marathon softball: one long game lasting 24 hours! The two teams were composed of about 20 people who each took turns in a totally anarchist autonomous.

personally my pride primary was able to break the so-called "lephio's curse". it is known that in training games of softball I do not always part of the team-winner .. Well this time the glorious "Team B" to which I belonged has won 107esimo inning for the well 123 to 107! (Or so ..)

therefore the curse is finally broken! (Pachi tiè!) Instead of speaking well merits bigger, I can only mention the Herculean enterprise of Faith: 100 (one hundred) innings played in more than 20 hours of play. considered that at least half received them behind home plate, we can only bow down to you so much physical strength and willpower. not coincidentally was once interviewed on television .

In conclusion, I thank Mark Mannucci for having organized this event and welcome all people (yes, even the A team!) who shared with us all 24 hours! There you see the 'next year to beat this record!

ps. were uploaded in the gallery I have some photos from cel .. I soon Grazialk upperà of new and especially those arriving from the official event website
