Power Rankings 1. Speed Bumps– No one can slow this team down! The Speed Bumps ran over

the Beasts 5-1 in a grueling rival match! Can they continue to reign at the

top or will they be pulled over by the Licensed professionals?

2. TITS– This team wiped those Mudders clean last week and added another

“W” to their record! Will they continue their streak or get Kicked by James

Pitch?

3. Beastmode– The Beasts were trapped last week by

their rivals, Speed Bumps! Will they be to Scared this

week or will they regain their spot at the top of the

food chain?

4. Scared Kickless– This team proved to be anything but

Kickless last week, outscoring Kick James, Pitch! Will

they be able to Scare the Beast this week and continue

to move up the ranks?

5. Ligers– The Ligers are crawling their way up the rank-

ings this week after another victory over Licensed to

Kick! Will the Mudders dirty their record or will

they soon be kings and queens of the jungle?

6. The Better AlcoBALLics– The Better AlcoBALLics earned their name last

week by closing out the AlcoBALLics 6 to 1! They face another tough

match up against the Sneaky Snakes, can they take home another victory

this week?

7. Sneaky Snakes– The Snakes captured All About That Base last week in a 6-2

victory! Will they sneak past The Better AlcoBALLics this week or will they

slither home without a win this week?

8. Bases May Not Be Loaded But We Are– This team showed those Pitches in

Low Places that they know how to load the bases and get loaded at the same

time, winning 4-2. Can they keep up their skills in the Dual of the Drinkers

game this week against the AlcoBALLics?

9. Licensed to Kick– These Kickers fell to the Ligers last week in an exciting

game but more importantly rocked the Super Hero theme like champs! Are

they ready and Licensed to Kick against the Speed Bumps

this week?

10. AlcoBALLics– Suffering from a tough loss last week

against their rival team, these AlcoBALLics are ready for

another week of kickball action! This week they take on

Based May Not Be Loaded But We Are in the Dual of the

Drinkers game this week! Who will prove to have the

stronger livers and the better kicks??

11.I’m Kick James, Pitch– These Pitches might have

been a little Scared of their competition last week, losing

5-3. Will they be able to cop a feel this week against

TITS and another “W” to their season??

12. I’ve Got Pitches in Low Places– These Pitches lost a

tough game last week to Bases Loaded! Will they be able to overcome their op-

ponents in the Orange Rival game this week?

13.All About That Base– AATB got bit by the Snakes last week in a 6-2 loss.

With the Orange Rival game this week, will they prove to be the best orange

team this season?

14. Mudder Fockers– These Mudders were wiped clean after their game against

TITS last week! This week is their Rival game against the Ligers– will they

dominate and show them they are the better half?

SPOTLIGHTS VETERAN of the week

Derek Fenech Speed Bumps

Q: How long have you been playing WAKA?

A: Since 2006

Q: If you could create a dream team of kickballers, using

celebrities, who would be on your team?

A: Celebrities suck at Kickball. I’ll take Mike Wolff, Jake Nohe, Eric

“Daddy” Flecthner, Mike “Angry” Genson, Kenny “The Future”

Vierling, Sabrina Wolff, The Shersty Sisters, Danielle Aluisi, Lauren

Saunders, Meghan Forbush, Molly Anderson, Tyler Smith, Al

Elchert, Franky Moulton, Jason Rivera, Matt Sherman, and Cody

“Let’s Greez” Helcher any day. I even through in some loser

Beastmode Players. However, I may consider Will Ferrell and John C

Reilly because those guys are hilarious.

Q: What theme week would you like to see happen?

A: America, or something for a good cause, like breast care awareness.

All other themes already have a day set aside for them. It is called

Halloween.

Q: If you’re not busy being awesome at kickball, what are you up to?

A: I am the President of a Large National Home Builder/Developer.

When I am not working, I enjoy flying (I have a Private Pilot’s

License), maintaining my 600 gallon aquarium, exercising,

spending time with my wife and dog, and using my excellent

Photoshop skills to make my friends feel self-conscious about

themselves.

Q: At O’Shea’s, what is your go-to drink of choice and

favorite item on the menu?

A: Any IPA Beer and a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Fries.

Q: What advice would you give someone who is a rookie

this kickball season?

A: I would say it’s a tossup. Either playing in my first competitive

kickball tournament with a great group of friends that I met in this

very West Palm League. Or having the honor of being asked to

marry four of my friends who I also met through this very West

Palm League. The Wolffs wouldn’t be the Wolffs, and the Angrys

would be the Angrys without me. The reality is we are more family

than friends.

Mark Lesco

All About That Base

Q: If you could create a dream team of kickballers, using

celebrities, who would be on your team?

A: Dan Marino and Dwayne Wade, mainly because I really

want to meet them and I guess Kate Upton, I mean have

you seen her in those Game of War commercials? Her

leadership skills seem impeccable.

Q: What theme week would you like to see happen?

A: I know most themes are for during the games, but I think

a great theme for post-game at O’Sheas would be a lip

sync battle night. Each team sends a rep and best

performance gets some free drinks.

Q: If you’re not busy being awesome at kickball, what are you up to?

A: Being awesome at drinking beers and watching sports and

getting ready to become a Daddy in August

Q: At O’Shea’s, what is your go-to drink of choice and

favorite item on the menu?

A: I am a simple man, give me Bud Light and chicken wings

and I am happy as hell.

Q: What is your favorite kickball memory so far?

A: I am a team guy so our first win was a great memory,

everyone contributed in some way, it was great.

Q: What advice can you give to a kickballer to help them survive Friday at work?

A: - Call in sick!

Q: What advice would you give someone who is a rookie

this kickball season?

A: Do not be afraid to bunt. It may not be as sexy as going for

the long ball, like the chicks dig, but it wins games.

Q: What would you like veteran kickballers to know?

A: You’re old, get out of my way.

What are you looking forward to this season?

A: Getting on base, because we are All About That Base,

making some more great catches and trying to win

another game or two.
