Southpaw Player Mysteriously Vanishes, Then, Reappears in Second Inning

Murray Cannot Account For Whereabouts.

-Jason Stark
UFO TODAY

In what investigators and team officials are calling a freak natural occurence, Southpaw right center fielder Rio Murray disappeared momentarily in the second inning of last Thursday's 6-4 win over the Alibi Chieftans. After the game, Murray could not say where he was while pointing to a pin-prick sized puncture wound that had mysteriously appeared in the center of his forehead. Both Leftie's right fielder Roger Smith and left center fielder Justin Marano were as baffled as everyone else. "I looked over and he was there, and then he wasn't" said Smith, "it was like he just vanished into thin air." "He was gone baby, wierd." added Marano.

The strange play occured when a Chieftan player hit what everyone assumed was a can of corn to right center. Southpaw second basemen Dan Sagrin said "I went out to get in position for the cut-off and the ball just dropped in and Rio was no where to be found." The hit led to a run and according to eyewitnesses, just as quickly as he was gone, Murray then reappeared, slightly dazed, and threw the ball in to the infield. "I don't know, I don't know." said Murray, refusing medical treatment. Southpaw manager, Patty "Dooks" Fondiller, quite noticably aggravated, declined comment.

Roff Alerts Team To Sceduling Error

Peter Gammons - Boston Herald.com

Leftie's Lefty Left Fielder Outs Clerical Error, Averts Disaster.

In a single act of acute awareness and unusual bravado, Southpaw Left Fielder, Matthew Roff, saw something and said something this Wednesday alerting team officials to a clerical scheduling error, averting potential disaster. Upon waking Wednesday morning Roff checked the Southpaw Softball blog and noticed that the schedule read Thursday the 24th instead of the 25th and immediately sent a text message at 9:13 am to alert manager Patty "Dooks" Fondiller.

"Is our game today or tom. Blog says thursday but gives todays date" read the text. Fondiller picked up the missive at 2:36 in the afternoon and called back Roff to let him know he would check the schedule. Team officials cited Roff's heroism pointing out that they may have had the team's players showing up at the game on Thursday evening thinking that the date was the 24th and not the 25th. "That would be bad." said one source on condition of anonymity. Reached by phone for comment, Southpaw's manager, Fondiller, simply began cursing and hung up.

The error has since been corrected.

Buster Olney - ESPN.COM

Leftie's 1B Injures Ankle In Pick-Up Game With 8 Year Olds.

Southpaw's first basemen Mikey Palms landed on the DL this week
with an ankle injury sustained while playing a pick-up game with a
bunch of 8 year olds at the annual 2 Boots Crabfest Party. The oft-injured
Palms apparently sprained the ankle and will be unable to go against Southpaw's
arch-rivals the People this week at beautiful downtown Commodore Barry
Park. "I went too hard at Crabfest" said Palms of the injury. Leftie's
manager, Patty "Dooks" Fondiller, visibly irritated, refused comment.
