It was first described to me as the most fun you can have
with your clothes on.
This gained my attention as I began to picture the Lingerie Football League. I would have never
guessed the statement was actually in reference to playing Softball.
If you don’t already know the London Adverting
Softball League (LASL) is the biggest corporate Softball league in the
world.
Engine has two teams within this league – Portland Pirates
(FUEL and PAA) and The Engineers (The remainder of Engine agencies). Of the 59
agency teams in LASL Portland Pirates proved their strength, becoming division
one champions this year.
On from this league LASL selects 14 softballers (7 guys and
7 gals) from the league to create an ‘Allstar team’. As the Lingerie Football
League became a distant memory, I went on and played for Portland Pirates all
last season and went to the rookies
trails for the Allstar team.
I was lucky enough be awarded a place on the Allstar team,
that are now fully merchandisable as The Blitz (Pictured) and the opportunity to join The Blitz in The Players
Tournament (TPT) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Competing at Big League Dreams we also partied
incredibly hard, this was unfortunately in detriment to our performance, but
not enjoyment.
I strongly recommend this awesome sport to anyone, all you
need to start is some sort of hand-eye co-ordination and preferably drinking
habits at the upper end of social.
