A Brand New Team Dave Williams-Former MLB Manager of the WS winning Reds (Like that will ever happen again...JK :P )

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I was the manager of my son's little league team. I was at the last game of his fall ball career. For some reason he didn't want to play next year. It was like he was keeping something from me. My son was up to bat in the bottom of the 6th, when my phone rang. I answered it.

"Hi can you call back later, thanks".

I didn't know who it was, but I did not want to miss my son play in his last game. He struck out, but he was already 3-3 and they were winning, so I didn't yell at him like I usually do. The game was over, so I picked up my phone and called the same number that called me earlier.
"Dave speaking," I said.

"Hi this is Ralph Carr, the new GM of an expansion team called the Hampton Devils. I was wondering if you wanted to be the manager of this new team."

"The MLB is putting in an expansion team? Why was it not in the USA Today? I did not see it."

"It was not in the USA today because the commissioner of the MLB did not want another team. We are moving to Japan and joining the NPB. Would your family like to come to Japan? If so call me back on my cell. My number is 233-000-0000. Hope you can join us."

"Okay, bu...He hung up."

I was thinking this through in my head. What will my family say...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What do you think will you follow this? I will put up the team roster up later tonight or tomorrow.

I'll follow as usual.

But it makes no sense to have a team from Virginia in a Japanese league.

Hm.

No they are all moving to Japan. They were going to be in Virginia, but the commissioner didn't want them there. Wait for later posts, they are going to change there city name. I planned this.

It's hard to not follow a log.

Or any thread for that matter.

December 16 2010

I woke up at 4:30 like I do every morning. I walked downstairs to get a cup of coffee when the phone rang. Who could be calling me this early I thought.

"Umm...He...Hello"?

"Hi Dave, it's Ralph. Did you talk it over with your family"?

"Yes I did. They said they did not want to go because my son was still in school, but will come at the end of the school year," I said.

"Oh...Well that sucks," he said.

"But they did say I could come earlier than them. When do you need me up"?

"If you can, tomorrow would be great".

"OK I will try to leave this afternoon. I will be there late tomorrow".

"That's OK. When you get there come to 218 Toyo Ct. I will have your address and the roster. The team name has been changed from Hampton Devils to Tokyo Devils. See you then".

Well that's just great, guess I get to pack up my bags and say goodbye...Yippee :x

I was on my way to the airport, and my wife called.

"Hey honey, what's up"?

"I almost forgot to tell you that we will be up on Christmas," she said.

"OK that's great. Can't wait to see you, bye".

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My airport just landed, and a nice gentleman gave me a car to drive. Ralph must've gotten it for me. It was the smallest car I have ever seen. It was like one of those cars clowns jump out of at the circus...

1 hour later

I made it to 218 Toyo Ct., and I couldn't wait to see the rosters. I sprinted to Ralph's office as hard as I could, which wasn't fast considering I am almost 50 years old.

"Hey Ralph," I said,"Do you have the roster"?

"Yes I do Dave. Here you go," he said.

He handed me a piece of paper with everyone on the team.

I thought this was a good team that need a little better pitching, but will make it to the playoffs with their batting and starters.

"It looks good," I said.

"Will you have a role for everybody by the time the season starts"? he asked.

"It might take a few weeks, but I will have it done," I told him.

And the off-season begins!

December 24 2010

My family came to visit me, and were surprised how nice the house was. We invited Ralph and his wife over, and we threw a great party. It lasted until 1:00 in the morning, so my son could go to bed and get presents when he wakes up. I got him a ps3 and a really stupid japanese game called Jikkyou powerful pro yakyuu. He won't even be able to understand it, but he wanted it so I got it.

My son woke up and tackled me like he does every Christmas, but I was ready for it.


"IT'S CHRISTMAS"!!!!!! he yelled.

We all had a great Christmas. I even got a Devils Uniform from Ralph. Of course I knew I was going to get one, but I got it on Christmas and it was great.
