About the games, we had an impressive series. The first game took 11 innings, but we finally took it 1-0. Game two was my start, I want 6+ (albeit not my best start) we still won the game 3-0. In the third game of the best of 5 series, we blew it open in the 5th, and ran away with an 8-0 win. 3 shutouts, giving us 7 in a row counting the last 4 games of the league play. That's 67 straight innings, between 8 pitchers without giving up a run (including finishing off the game before the streak with 4 shutout innings). I was telling some of the guys yesterday, I've never been a part of something like this. It's pretty special. Just have to keep on keeping on.
Now to the pictures...
Chatting about baseball...likely.
Team manager and friends Jorien and Naomi enjoying some good food, and lot's and lot's of Heinekens (bottom right)...
Leftfielder Mr. Kingsale in the brown hat, SS Dwayne Kemp in the green jumpsuit, 1B Jeff Arends in the green hat, outfielder Eldrion Regina (Jappy) in the red...
RF Danny Rombley and 3rd base coach Foxy Martinus...
I jumped in the middle..
Coaches JC on the left, and Adonis Kemp on the right... Having a deep chat about something baseball related... JC and his whiskey, haha.
Coaches wives... Mrs. Martinus and Mrs. Kemp
The grillmasters at work. Grey haired SS Jeroen Sluijter and catcher in the yellow shirt is Martijn Meeuwis, cooking up just a little chicken...
Foxy with the dutch league homerun king (from about 30 years ago). This guy is now a bit crazy and just yells at players the whole game from different parts of the bleachers while drinking beer he brought from home. Nice guy though...
Equipment manager/Dutch national team staff member also Ton Meiresonne. He wasn't smiling, so I poked his belly and he perked right up... haha
Typical dutch.
Some of the crowd...
A couple couples. Pitcher Kevin Heijstek and his lady friend Deborah on the left, and CF Tati (Shaldimar Daantji) on the right with his girlfriend...
People eatin.
On the menu = Pork loins, steak, ribs, chicken drums, rice and noodles. Oh, and sate sauce... mmmmm.
The meat bringer. Pitcher Ber Van Driel... He obviously ran out of hair product after the game...
The grillers... did a great job.

Always such a pleasure to read your blogs. It looks like you all had a great time, glad you jumped in a picture.
You forgot to mention the wine.. ;-)
Nice pics!
That was great timing ... 3 straight wins to make it to the Holland Series and to celebrate this nice spread of food and beer [+ wine]. Good to see all the familiar faces! That sate sauce looks so yummy ;)
