Last week, Music News called SFS principal trumpet Mark Inouye many things, including a home run king, and up with that Inouye would not put:
I don't know where you are getting your softball statistics from! You may need to check your sources. In the game in Tokyo there was only one home run hit, and it was done by our Public Relations guy, Oliver Theil. A lot of guys had extra base hits — Russ DeLuna, Paul Welcomer, Tim Higgins, Jeff Anderson, and myself, but only one homer by Oliver.During our game against NY, there were a few homers, by me and Jeff Anderson. Maybe that's what you are remembering? And during the Philadelphia game, a few guys hit homers there too — me, Jeff Anderson, and Dan Carlsen.
OK, just wanted to set the record straight. I'm no home run king, but I'm somewhat speedy so if I can get on base, then one of my colleagues can hit me in. And thanks again for writing about the Noble Trumpets!
Let's see who will shine on the softball field when Inouye's SFS team goes up against the Met team during the orchestra's New York visit. Ooops! That has not yet been announced by the Public Relations Guy. Sorry.
