Welcome to Saskatoons FINEST slow-pitch team...........The 69ers!
Do you like competitive ball, can you hit a home run every time you bat, do you work out more than 3 times a week?
If you answered yes to any of these questions please leave now, we're not that kind of team!
However.............if you like to have fun, enjoy playing ball, love cold tasty beverages and the socializing after the games, then your the player we're looking for!
We are a semi-competitive co-ed slo-pitch team and while we like to win, we're mainly out there to have fun.
Take a moment to visit our History and Roster sections to learn more about the team and it's players.
Joke of the Week
Slowpitch - 2008
Schedule is finally on line so click on the beer pic to see when we play.
We have had quite a turnover in the gals for this year but I am happy to say the new recruits are good to go. No more getting pregnant gals, much to stressfull on the coach finding new recruits!
Great West Pilsner is once again the league sponsor and the beer of choice for the team. Remember, drink lots of beer this summer and bring me your reciepts.
We are now midway through the season and while the win record is not to impressive, the beer is still as tasty as ever! No worries guys and gals, we're justing saving up for the playoffs!
Beach Volleyball 2008
Hard to believe but the season is already half over. Although we started out slow, the team is starting to gel and I see playoffs in our future. Perhaps a little optimistic at this point but what the h@ll! As they say, proof is in the pudding so just click on the volleyball to see how we're making out.........................

Coaches Corner
July 14th:
We split the games in a fun filled evening and many a beverage was consumed.
Als bat finally came alive this evening and he put on quite a show hitting four home runs in total.
Frank again continues to be a machine out in the field and he made many tremendous catches to keep us in the game.
Coach had his most lack luster performance to date as he watched the ball roll between his legs and drop out of his glove on a consistent basis. Fortunately he benched himself before things got worse and the 69ers ended up winning the second game. Remember, those who can't do, coach!
Highlight of the Night: The gal from the Beers who stepped up to the plate and hit an over the fence home run. Twas a thing of beauty and will certainly be talked about for many games to come. Al, although your four home runs were impressive, hers was definately the most memorable!
July 21st:
Well we played the Smash and true to form, they were 20 minutes late so we didn't get to play two full games. Yeah, not bitter at all!
The first game was quite the nailbiter and the Smash did end up winning in the seventh by one run. Loss aside, it was actually a pretty good game and everyone batted up a storm.
Now to the strikeouts........... It is very hard to believe that we only lost by one considering 4 people struck out throughout the evening. I have to check but I am pretty sure this is a new record. Not a proud one but a record nonetheless!
Jodi had a hell of a game on first and made numerous lunges, and leaps to get the out at first. Good job Jodi. Next game we'll see if people can actually throw it all the way to your glove!
Brian had a most impressive off field hit that went to the fence and landed him on third. Although we thought it was a great hit, most of us were more in awe that he actually ran as hard as he could to make it to third instead of his usually jog!
Garrett continued his quest for a home run however ended up hitting the ball a smidge to high and as a result, quest continues next week!
There were lots of sh*ts and giggles after the game and for the first time this season, the beer cooler was drained. Nice work guys and gals!
That's it in a nutshell, catch you all next week.

Snow Pitch 2008
Sadly, this tradition must come to an end..........
After 10 years, we will not be putting a team into this annual tourney due to lack of players.
Some of the gals are pregnant, some of the guys are wussies and some of us are just getting way to old!
Although sad, I do have some very fond memories of the good times had.
1) Lee not making the Sunday game as he was getting busy with a girl he met the night before
2) Brian wearing his sweats and snow boots to the bar afterwoods and drooling over Sherri's cleavage
3) Glen asking Andi sleeping on the couch if she wanted to #uc#!
4) My coffee table being smashed to smitheriens during a harmless after ball party
5) Bob coming downstairs with my shower curtain which "accidently" got ripped off the wall
6) Al showing up for one of our first game still pissed and falling down while swinging at a ball
7) Paul mooning Jill. Nuff said!
There were many more "incidents" however those are the ones that stick out.
Thanks guys and gals for playing in that ***ty weather year after year and who knows, maybe next year we'll be back!

Concert Review - Bon Jovi/Don Hedley (as writen by my wife)
Well first off, there was this opening act, Hedley something or other. They played for awhile but I lost interest as I started fantasizing about being on a desert island with Mr. Bon Jovi................. Next thing you know, it was time for another beer and by the time I got back, the opening act was over.
Then came Jon............. He started with "Lost Highway" and I got weak in the knees. It was like he was singing to me and me alone! By this time I was standing on my seat and was debating at what point my underwear should be flung upon the stage. Not wanting to seem to easy, I decided to hold off and instead began screaming " I LOVE YOU!" I was shocked and amazed when I looked behind me only to see another girl shouting out the same phrase. Who the h*ll does this girl think she is I thought, that's my Jon! After trying to explain to this gal that she should not talk about my lover that way, I finally lost my temper and had to pop her one. She seemed very surprised by my response but needless to say, she was much more respectfull of my man for the remainder of the concert.........
He played many great new and classic songs but sadly, I can hardly remember what they were. Could of been the beer, may have been the hormones going crazy. Who knows?!
What I do know however is that the band has some awesome security! Once the concert was over I of course had to sneak back stage to see my lover Jon. Seeing some groupies, I stole a backstage pass off some blonde bimbo and away I went. After showing the pass to numerous guards, I finally arrived at their dressing room. All was good until that blonde bimbo came running up accusing me of assulting her and stealing her pass. I tried to explain to security that she was crazy and I was Jons one true love and at first they seemed willing to listen. Unfortunately for me, I must of started to panick and ended up kicking one of the guards in the balls. After that, there was just no reasoning with them.........
So to summarize the concert, best $145 I ever spent! I got to see my true love Jon, beat up a chick and kicked a guy in the nads. Who could ask for more!!!

Concert Review - Ozzy Osbourne/Rob Zombie
Now, I realize Ozzy may be getting up there in age BUT, he can still belt out those songs! The Ozz was on stage for about an hour and a half and the concert was well worth the $80 ticket price. Sadly, the rather large gal sitting behind me might disagree. After chanting "Ozzy" and spilling beer on me for a good hour, she unfortunately passed out just before Ozzy came on stage. She did wake up once to go puke but must of still been tired as she then went back to sleep until the show was over. It was probably best that she did pass out because had she throw her underwear on stage, Ozzy probably would of ran for the hills! In summary, Ozzy may not be able to hop around like 20 years ago however, he still puts on one h*ll of a show!
As for Rob Zombie, his show was frickin fantastic! The songs sounded like you were listening to him on CD and man did he work the stage. He had clips from movies he's directed playing in the backround and Robs show alone was well worth the ticket price. Not to take anything away from Ozzy but Zombie is definately not an opening act and if you ever get the chance to see him in concert, go!
If you wanted to see freaks, this concert was the place to be! Piercings, tattoos, leather pants, mohawks, this concert had it all. And for those of you who worry about the next generation of kids, don't. The younger concert goers were the quite ones drinking their beers and having a good time. It was those mid 40 wife beating rebels that were smoking pot galore and screaming at the top of their lungs! Watching all the freaks was alot like watching a train wreck. You don't want to stop and stare but ya just can't help it!
Anyway, long story short, concert was great and I would go again. And as for the chick who was passed out behind us and missed Ozzy all together, sucks to be you...............................
