In 2012 Co -Captain Krystle went to Co-Captain Eric Delisle’s men’s competitive ONSPL game. The Hot Pockets were playing at Dumaurier West. Best I can figure it was August 13th, 2012.
A foul ball was hit, you know the spot , down the hill into that ditch area next to the parking lot. As Cappy Krystle went to fetch it she wandered past a table of men playing cards. The ball was retrieved and thrown in and one of the gentleman complimented her throw and asked if she wanted a beer. Silly question, clearly that answer was a yes.
She sat with them at their Costco fold up table, admiring the bottle of scotch (fave drink…) on the table and trying to figure out what card game they were playing. Everyone introduced themselves and two brothers named Eric & Dave (CLEARLY a sign) ran the team. They had played before Eric’s game that night. They told her they had all played together since high school! They chatted and drank and it was interesting to see that they had done this for so many years.
She was inspired. She wanted to be drinking scotch and smoking cigars in a lotty after her games with SB&W when she was an “old man”. Eventually Eric’s game ended and he found her. She asked, if a team had been together since 85 , how many years would that be if our team stayed together what year would we then play until?
Until 2039 he answered.
