Recently, I found out that elder statesman Tom Phillips, who was part of the pitching rotation last season, would not be returning to the team. This is a move that infuses more of a youth movement into the team. Although we lost Minter, Riel and Phillips, we did gain four new players in Jacob Albright, Jeremy McNeill, Robert Mort and Ethan Davis (no relation to Jordan Davis, pictured below in action against New Wilmington last July).
I was at Panera for lunch on Wednesday before work and while I was waiting to enjoy a bowl of broccoli cheddar soup, I caught sight of Jordan Davis, but I don't know if he recognized me or not.
I have not seen a game schedule yet, but as soon as I see the schedule posted, I will input that information into my media guide which will go into a three-ring binder that I purchased recently for that purpose.
For those of you who are seeing these posts for the first time, you may be asking yourselves: "You are giving great insight to this church softball team; but who are you and why are you doing this?"
Good question!
My name is Michael T. Mondak. Although I am a member of Church of Notre Dame in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, I am the "Voice of Covenant Softball". I always live for the period between mid-May and mid-July because that's when I take on my role as a church softball podcaster. In the coming weeks and months, I will give insight to this team, post game audio footage, and even give some statistics on a periodic basis! Everyone has or has had a mentor, and I have been blessed to have many of them. When it comes to my role as the "Voice of Covenant Softball", my mentor is the former Pittsburgh Pirates broadcaster Lanny Frattare, who is a professor at Waynesburg University. I will post in the future what Lanny tells his students in each of his classes.
Until next time, farewell and fair balls.
