Many of you have expressed concern that, having lost Shelly B. Hayes and Lindsey B. Wanyo within the span of a year, the Pen & Pencil team was going to be a little light in its distaff loafers this season. We retain the services of Ellen Kenney and Kathy "Big Pink Machine" Matheson, but what if one of them can't make it? What if there is injury? Pestilence? Flood?
Last year, a number of talented young ladies took part before the campaign was finished. We have reached out to some of them, to Patty-Pat Koslowski and Carolyn Davis and Christine Ollie and, of course, to Kelly Sapp. The response has not been overwhelming.
But, lo, in our hour of darkness, in our time of need, we have been blessed to sign free-agent Rona Goldloss, new to the area, apparently, and new to the gender as well. Who knew that hip replacement entailed a knife this sharp?
The bio that comes with the player indicates that Rona can pitch and play several infield positions. She knows her way around the batting cage and can keep a mean score as well.
From the standpoint of The Management, Rona is an answer to our prayers. I can't wait to write her name in black Flair on the official lineup sheet and hang her on the fence with my handy S-hook.
I know that all of you join me in welcoming Rona to the team, even though she apparently changes teams quite often. As long as she keeps her pants on this time, everything will be fine.
