CRYSTAL TANNER
Crystal is no newcomer to kickball. She's been playing for 7 seasons now! (6 of them on the Peninsula) Her skills speak for themselves. Weeks ago she was highlighted, not only for being part of a double play- resulting in that week's Caption That, but also for being the first run to score in that game! Holy base-running skills Batman! I have to say, nothing makes me happier than hearing that one of our women played such a big part in a game! That's why I started this post in the first place! So without further ado, let's get to know Crystal a little better..
We know you've been playing for quite a while now.. how long with the Foulies? What position do you play?
I always played with TailGators (then we changed our names to Off in the Corner). This is my first season with Foul Balls. I usually tend to play outfield, somewhere between center and right field, or anywhere else I am told to play.What is is about kickball that keeps you coming back each season?
Kickball is kickball, we all loved it growing up (unless you were picked last, sorry) so why wouldn't you love it now? It is still the great awesome childhood game, and now it involves alcohol, and no one cares how bad you may or may not suck. Plus the people are cool (I feel like that is everyone's generic answer even if it's true). You get cheap discounts at the bar and now you have an excuse when friends and family are setting up an AA intervention because you are smashed in the middle of the week.
Where is Zack Galifianakis?
I wish I knew, we could use him on the sidelines (hell we could put him in the outfield to play... it couldn't hurt our record any).
A couple of weeks ago GMOT highlighted that you were a big part of making one of your team's double plays. Congratulations! Any tips for the rest of us if we want to make big plays, or thoughts about how that game went?
Thanks. I don't think I have any great advice on how to play.. just play. Don't be afraid to get dirty and have fun even when you are sucking really bad. I'm just glad Brent was around for that game and not one of the games where everything was going wrong for me. And thank goodness Dennis was there, he's my right hand man in the field.
Foulies are known for their party skills... will we find you at the bar with the rest of your team?
Yeah, I have been slacking in the bar department for the past few seasons, but I think it might be time for me to start showing up again. Yeah, I will definitely be there this week.
