By the time we eliminated 31 of the 33 teams, there was 1 Cubs team and 1 Dodgers team left standing. In other words, one-third of the 33 team selections were either Cubs or Dodgers/Robins teams. No fewer than 4 of the 33 teams entered were Chicago Cubs selections: 1908, 1929, 19. Mingling during division play, Paul Van Beek on left, Dave Jones on right, with Robert Elley and Rob Skogen in the background. 16 of the 33 are from out-of-state, representing 10 different states.
We had a record number of entrants for our 17th bi-annual tournament, 33. (A tremendous “THANK YOU” to Gary and Terry Borthwick for taking the group photo and each of the photos you will see in this post!)Īnother grand day in the not-so-frozen tundra.
