Jeff was one of those jack-of-all-trades who could handle any position on the field, which was good because he was usually asked to do just that. A solid opposite field hitter, Skippy was always a hard-sell to playing full time for AWA. Often self-critical of his play on the field ("I suck!"), Jeff tried to quit the team several times, but we would eventually drag him out "just one more time" and he usually complied, but only with the promise of "never again". Now that the team has folded, he can finally relax. Jeff's only goal was to retire with a higher career batting average than Coach Apple, but he didn't quite make it. Skippy's off-field exploits were legendary. Just ask that buffet chef at Northstar why they don't have "All You Can Eat" prime rib night any more. We'd make Skippy the poster boy for AWA softball, but the guy never smiles for the camera -- ever. It's just a constant game-face that he presents to an adoring public who would do anything to see his pearly whites. Just once. |
