The Beginning of the End?
Many great empires, despite their immense
political power and cultural influences, have fallen. Rome is one for
example. And history has taught us that nothing can outlast time. As one of
the foreseers of the new and great wiffle ball empire
(wiffleball2k.com), I
wonder: is this the beginning of the end for our great league? Although I
believe the end will not come before this 2000 season, I have reason to
believe that this season is truly the beginning of the end.
One indication of the nearing end would be the recent let
down in performance from homerun God Scott Carmichael. Although his measly
Winterball '99 performance could be seen as a fluke, I think it is the first
sign of the beginning of the end. We will ultimately see at the completion of
season 7 if the end is really prominent. If Carmichael turns his recent
winterball let down into a season-long downfall, then our great league will
surely suffer. I mean, ask yourself, "who can fill Carmichael's
shoes?" Many have tried, and they've all come out short.
The second sign of the beginning of the end is Matt
Holmberg. Arguably the best player in this league, Matt has incredible
natural athletic ability that makes him fun to watch; however seeing much of
him on the field has been difficult. Lately, it seems that he doesn't have
the desire anymore. For whatever reasons, Matt is more likely nowadays to NOT
show up for gamedays. If other payers develop such a disease, it will be
difficult to keep the league's head above water. And eventually the end will
come.
The only uncertainty is how exactly this league will
finally end. When? How? These are the real questions. If you think you know
the answer, please e-mail me. I'd be
absolutely fascinated with your opinions.
