31st Annual St. Louis Corkball Championship


This weekend, 01 August 2009, is the 31st annual Corkball championship. This event will run all day long at the Jefferson Barracks fields. Ball, food & drink and no running - all day long; not too bad.

The teams are matched. It Sportmans vs. Lemay I; Gateway vs. Swansea Improvement Dist.: So. St. Louis Corkball vs. Lemay II; and Red vs. Cougars. Jay moore is out of town and not able to make it this year. This is the first time since the beginning of the tournament their team has not made it. River City Pub is also not going to be able to field a team this year but hope to be back next year.

All the match ups are good ones. Lemay and Sportsmans are going head-to-head right off the bat along with So. St. Louis Corkball and Lemay II. These should be good games to watch. The talk is that Ray Timmons is bringing a new good luck towel this year so watch out for Sportmans!

I hope the Swansea Boy do well but they are also up against a good team.

And, Denny Rodner gets to feed on a bunch of pups. Maybe not though, if the pups can hit a curveball.

Good luck to all and let's keep it a fun event!
