1980 NABA Georgia State Championship:
We lost our first game, came up through the losers bracket - winning 5 (that's right 5!) games on Saturday...to land us in the final...we were leading at about midnight Sunday night when the opposing manager went postal and the umps forfeited the game to us...that detail did not matter anyway...we still would have won- just as sweet. So, anyway, the tournament was played in Macon and I had to report to my first management job in Columbus (couple of hundred miles away) at 8am. Fleeting time to soak it in...that's what the trophy is for.
Our catcher played every inning of all 5 Saturday games and was ready for the final...I can't even remember being in that kind of shape!
