ITS SOFTBALL SEASON!!

Look outside your window dear friends of Purp...ITS SOFTBALL SEASON!! I have just returned from the league office where I had a teleconference with our good friend Todd Barr. We are OFFICIALLY all set for Thursday Night Domination starting this April. Mr. Barr has made me aware of 3 rule changes for this season:

1: We can ONLY use yellow balls.
2: The Pitch height has been changed to 6'-10'
3: We can use rubber tips on our bats this year. (TWSS)

I have moved our practice back one week due to the chill in the air for this Thursday. Our first practice will be Thursday, March 11 at 6:00 at Washington Park.

For those of you that have sent in your league fees, I thank you. For those of you that haven't. Do it. Do it. You can send your $25.00 to the following address:

Herd Management
Attn: Mike Swaim
1024 Cowbell Drive
Jonesville, NC 28642

I strongly encourage handwritten notes of encouragement such as ICS Heather Miller provided over the weekend. These letters not only boost management morale and ego, they also provide proof to Herd Management Spouse that Herd Management is actually part of a softball team and not involved in some sort of Mafia Led Conspiracy to take over the world.

Also, I have a bit of a surprise for the Mighty Purps. Over the weekend, Herd Management sat down with Superstar Recording Artist Jay Sean to pen this year's Official Herd Song! Last year's song, "The Climb" was truly the sole motivation for the Herd in its quest for 2 consecutive World Championships. This years song is even more adrenaline pumping emotion and at this time, I would like to provide you some of the key lyrics to This Years Herd Song, "DO YOU REMEMBER, BRING IT BACK!!

I've been thinking about Herd
And how we used to be then
Back when we didn't have to live we could start again

If it's alright with you then it's alright with me
Baby let's take this time let's make new memories

Do you remember do you remember do you remember
All of the times we had
Do you remember do you remember do you remember
All of the times we had
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)<----YES!!!
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)<----YES!!!
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)<----YES!!!
Let's bring it back (Bring it back!)<----YES!!!
Let's bring it back

I encourage each of you to download this song ASAP, listen, learn and dwell in what our ultimate goal is this year my friends....to BRING IT BACK!! Holla!

Lastly, Former Herd Superstar Amanda Redding has asked if any Herd Men might be interested in playing in a charity softball game to raise money for the infant son of one of her friends that has some serious health issues. Herd Management 100% endorses this event and would like to encourage each of you to participate if possible. Knees Redding will be following up with us with more details soon!
