The 2008 Hawaii Winter Baseball championship game was played today at Les Murakami Stadium, University of Hawaii at Manoa, a season-ending confrontation between the two division leaders – the West Oahu CaneFires and the Waikiki BeachBoys.It was a fun Sunday at the ballpark. I got to see a 3-run homerun by the BeachBoys, I got to see the CaneFires third-baseman take a tumble on the pitcher’s mound as he raced in to catch an infield pop fly (he dropped it), I got to do the arm dance to “YMCA,” and I got to munch on some yummy roasted peanuts.
I got to sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” for the umpteenth time in my life (it NEVER gets old), I got to inhale some Magoo’s pizza before the game, I got to laugh at all five silly-looking mascots for the first time this year, and I got to turn in a Sony digital camera that someone had left in my seat the night before.
The stands were pretty much filled up today, more fans in the seats than I’d ever seen for any game this past season. Guess the West Oahu people turned out in force.
All in all, it was a good day.
Oh … I almost forgot. The Waikiki BeachBoys won the game and the championship, 5-1. They were happy.

Phillip almost took a manager's position for thw Hawaiian league but decided not to. It sounds like you had a great day and I like the team names.
Now wouldn't that have been something, Montee. Think you would have come over with him if he did?
Oh, the Waikiki BeachBoys won the game and the championship. You know I picked that team to be "my team."
