Last updated 11:30 a.m. Monday, July 28, 2008 This website is the online home of the Cubs, Padres, and Yankees, Brighton Heights Athletic Association's teams for boys ages 11 and 12. These teams play on Field 6. A Truly Grand Finale A really good thing happened in Brighton Heights on July 22. It involved no umpires, no visiting teams, no perfect baselines. Just a bunch of boys celebrating their time in little league. When Peters Township forfeited out of BHAA's tournament, it left an opening on the Senior All-Stars' social calendar. Instead of playing against another team in a consolation game, they had pure fun just playing together. After collectively receiving their third place team trophy and hearing an inspiring season-ending speech from their coaching staff, the boys grabbed their gloves and just played. The 13-man squad split into two and welcomed participation from moms, dads, coaches, little brothers, cousins, and even one grandma for a fun-filled, smack-talking scrimmage. Shawn Tunstall and Mike Albright squared off in a pitching duel, while all-stars Tommy Barnabi, Jeremy Davis, Marcus Dean, Mark Lodge, Ryan Kirby, Nick Tunstall, Thorin Knupsky, Brody Miller, Jake Matschner, Andrew Kocay, Sean McGrath, Devonte Stackhouse, and Ian Cherkes anchored the opposing squads. Joining in the fun were Roy, Julian, Ray, and Jayson Dean; Shawn, Missy, and Nathan Tunstall; Jordan and Drew Albright; Dave and Patrick O'Malley; Dodie Smith; Nicole and Aidan Knupsky; Randy Davis; and Trinity O'Dell. Grandma Dodie went 2-for-2; Roy Dean strapped on the catchers equipment even though it fit more snuggly than in his playing days; Nick Tunstall batted wearing a hockey style catchers helmet; and Sean McGrath ran the bases in shin guards. Randy Davis went yard on his own son, and Mike Albright waved to the girls as he rounded the bases after his two-run homer. The strike zone was wide, the score didn't matter, no umpires were needed, and they lost track of innings. The evening was testament to the joy of baseball that the little league class of 2008 has shared since it began its ascent through the ranks from teeball. There were no Yankees, Cubs, or Padres. Just teammates and friends enjoying the game that brought them together. |
