Shout outs and thanks

By Tony Lee On Thursday, April 02, 2009
First, I want to apologize to the OCC baseball team for showing up. I’m almost 100 percent convinced that I am bad luck.

And it's not March anymore so the March "Mustache Madness" doesn't apply. I want to desperately blame it on the change of the months but that would be as ridiculous as someone wearing blue shoes with orange shoelaces as good luck.

...Moving on.

I want to give a shout out to four members of the OCC softball team Kayse Potter, Maddie Page, Kiele Brown and Kalyn Lee for stopping by, saying hi and hanging out with me.

Also, Page would like the world to know that Cypress College always seems to hit two home runs against her. Maybe she doesn’t want the world to know but I’m sharing it nonetheless.

I know the softball girls personally and they are the coolest set of girls you’ll ever meet. I say more of us go to the softball games to support them.

I also want to give a shout out to OCC track and field rock stars Brianna Vanderwal and Liana Fuentes for stopping by. If you didn’t know, Vanderwal and Fuentes qualified for the upcoming California State Meet about a week ago at the Southern California Heptathlon Championships.

I want to give thanks to all the players and coach John Altobelli for the interviews. I also want to thank Tony Altobelli for helping me fill in the blanks when I was busy with interviews or updating the blog.

And I also want to clear something up.

Through my interview questions, I realized that I may have insinuated I blamed the loss on OCC pitcher Calvin Drummond. That’s 100 percent not the case.

If any of the players, coaches or fans thought I was being a jerk by asking those questions that way, I apologize and that wasn’t my intent.

Drummond actually pitched a great game and even had a no hitter going through the fifth inning.

And finally, thank you to the four people that picked up the Coast Report newspaper located next to my little station and tens of others that picked up the flyer on the OCC sports blog.
