LBI Sunday Afternoon Wiffle Ball Classic

Hey Nerds!
I'll be down at the LBI house from Sunday the 23rd to Tuesday the 25th... Nothing says summer at the Jersey Shore like wiffle ball, right? I was thinking about setting up a big Mahoney family wiffle game on the beach for Sunday afternoon. A little friendly competition amonst family never hurt, right? Think about your involvement... either playing or cheering from the sidelines. We would ideally need 4 or 5 people a side but could do with more or less. I may or may not be fashioning some kind of trophy. No promises though, as I do tend to make empty promises.
I used to look at the trophy case in the old house in Nyack with awe... Now I'm a little older I have trouble believing any of those commemorated in that case ever possessed athletic ability of any kind. Yes, that's a (playfully disrespectful) challenge.
-DIM Athletic Events Coordinator (hope I'm not stepping on toes w/ that title)

And in order to keep hurt feelings out of it as much as possible, no picking teams. I'll just divy it up as equitably as I can... but we'll try to keep immediate family units in tact! Get excited

Cagatay & I are both in!

I'M IN! Great idea. And the title is yours. Having held titles--i can tell you you will live to regret it.
I think however, we should purposely split families--make it a little more interesting don't you think?
(the suggestions will start flying now--the tide is rising--ask your dad what that one means--it's the corollary to the red shirt
be DIM or be Director of Athletics!

Does the Director of Athletics have to bring the volleyball & net?

lodging queen of the east said...

I think he does. UNDERTOW!

Kristin said...

John and I are in, with Jack, Betsy, and Millie substituting for us as deemed necessary.

Brendan said...

haha he explained the red shirt... as the DIM AEC, I can delegate right? Volleyball net & ball responsibilities hereby bestowed on Patrick Thomas

lodging queen of the east said...

Be DIM or be delegated to!

Susan said...

So does the Director at least bring the wiffle ball equipment?
