Rotters Adopt Minor League Affiliate


RotterCorp International Sports Ventures, the parent company of the Royal Raleigh Rotters, has expanded into the growing and profitable world of semi-professional 5-6 year-old T-ball. The Capital Ear Nose and Throat Grizzlies (I didn't make that up) are now an official minor-league affiliate of RotterCorp.

In their first game Tuesday night, the gallant Grizzlies galloped to a 20-20 tie with the highly-touted Cubs. Given the 5-run per inning limit in the Elite Premier Salvation Army T-Ball League (EPSATBL), 20-20 ties are not uncommon. There were 2 outs in the entire 4-inning contest.

Budding T-ball superstar Emma Farquhar is batting 1.000, with a single and one run scored. In fact, the entire Grizzly squad is batting 1.000 with a single and one run scored. All players successfully rounded the bases in the prescribed counter-clockwise direction, no children were harmed, and there were no crying incidents. The Ear Nose and Throaters hope to carry their almost winning ways to Thursdays matchup with league co-leaders the Sliding Penguins.

RotterCorp hopes to turn a tidy profit from concession and gambling revenue, with at least enough income to cover Sunday post-game beverages for the Persons in Black. The Salvation Army has shown some resistance to liquor and beer sales at EPSATBL games, but RotterCorp lawyers are hopeful of winning the impending lawsuit. Luckily, SA officials have yet to notice the RotterCorp betting parlor, tucked discreetly behind the concessions stand.

Fight on, Grizzlies, fight on! The beer-starved Rotters are depending on you.

If a Grizzly and a Rotter got in a fight, who would win? CAC
