It took nine long years to do it, but the first
victory of the double header on Sunday April 30,  
2000, against the Postmen became Jay Hatfield's 
200th regular season Men's/Masters Team win as a 
softball manager.

It will all have been worth it if the players
and families that form the core of this team have 
enjoyed themselves, and the game.

[Editors Note:  The first 200 were a lot of fun!
Maybe I should go for 400...Ha! Jay]

A COMMEMORATIVE POEM...
Jay Hatfield: Self-Portrait

A contented little pig I am,
Endowed with every gift of man:
Every thought, every notion, every poem and song.
I'm Truth to the Tooth.  I know no wrong.

A beast of many well earned honors.
A hog amongst my piglet brothers.
Oh, what a marvelous creature I am!
Someday I'll make a splendid ham.
