Team Tuesdays: Holy Balls

Written by Josh Smith (@HWLcommissioner)  |  Commissioner and Author/Editor  |  05.25.2013 


The Holy Balls have been one of the most fun teams to watch this year because they embody what the league is all about - having a great time. With the exception of one player everyone on this team is in their 40s, making them the oldest team in the league. Age has proven not to mean anything, however, as they've performed well and are a dominant second place team. Everybody on the team has pitched at some point and although they do not have a pitcher that throws 80 mph or astonishing curve balls, they have a phenomenal offense that gets a lot runs on the board.
