The following account of the Sow History is true. Young children should not read this. It was the early 80"s, the golden days when Stebs fielded three softball teams. The men's teams were well established but the mixed team was struggling. John Robby, the highly regarded third baseman, was coaching the mixed team along with Black Santa AKA Dave Kufflekeffler. Together they hatched a scheme to recruit women players while at the same time creating a gene pool for future teams. The scam went something like this...women were offered a spot on the mixed team on the condition they'd have sex with men from the various Stebs teams. I was confused when John approached me to play on the mixed team. I had always been a loyal fan but was uncertain of my worthiness to play on the team and propagate future players. After much personal reflection and hours of girl talk with my dear friend Andrea, it was decided I should pray to St. Ebs for guidance. In a hallucination, I mean vision, during a Ziploc set at Stebs, all was revealed to me. John and I were married that summer and immediately began the work St. Ebs had blessed. One season playing right field and the next five giving birth to future sows was rewarding but tiring. The dream turned in to a nightmare when our children learned of the plan for a master race of Sows. Not only did they reject softball, they left the Sacred Church of St. Ebs. The oldest is spinning records at Tony's Disco, the second and third (twins) were adopted by the Wayans family and are currently working the Hollywood scene, the fourth was last seen sitting next to Bill Gates during the Microsoft hearings, and the youngest is a mime in Central Park. John and I split up. He went on to find true love in his soul mate, Corrine, and I went underground to lick my wounds. Neither of us could give up the dream of a Sows Championship so we carry on our separate work, John as third base coach and yours truly as a loyal fan. There are hushed rumors circulating that the Front Office is again considering some type of propagation of the species and that Kelly has offered himself to begin this brave experiment. You go sows!
