Softball, Chicago-style
August 11th, 2008
Last week, some of us graduates, members and students took some old PYC advice and tried a new sport! It’s called 16-inch softball; the way they play it in Chicago. The ball is a huge 16 inches in circumference, lead-offs are allowed, but gloves aren’t! It’ll make a man of you! Here are some pics; we really had a blast!

Jeremy Cocomise dives to tag baserunner Brandon Nice (3) at second base.

Ben Tryba hustles home as Mr. Hickman looks for the force-out.
David Weeks gracefully pounces upon first base as Philip Nice takes the throw from Mr. Hyde.
