So September 28th 2012 was a day to remember in the NEBL. Not only was this the first year that Elmira didn’t win it all, but it is also the year Alex Williams (God) received his first post season loss. So after the 9th inning we all went back to the clubhouse and celebrated, however it went much further then ESPN aired.
We all celebrated with the typical champagne and beer showers. After that we took the team bus up to Springfield Massachusetts and went to club rain to celebrate. It was an incredible night, even Chisato came to celebrate. So we all went downstairs and celebrated with shots, luckily club rain had watched the Patriot Cup and all drinks were on the house.
As luck would have it once the “Come back Shannon” cheer started Michael Thomson popped in. I had recalled last year losing to Halifax in the Conference Finals and Thompson rubbing it in, obviously upset I left his ball club, and I held my tongue. I decided to let loose, the conversation went something like this.
DR: Great Series huh?
MT: You shouldn’t have even been there!
DR: Well we proved that we should have been there. You remember when I signed with Hartford and said I’m signing with the 1st team to win the Cup other then Elmira?
MT: *grumbles*
DR: Yeah, being a champion feels great by the way!
I might have gone a bit over the edge because I just heard that he has resigned and retired, however, I’m not sure if it’s for real this time or not.
Since we won the Cup I just wanted to say this, “I’m going to Disney World!”
