Patty's Players - Volume 3

Patty V • August 8, 2022

Me: “Hey honey, who’s your favorite athlete?”

Her: “What sport?”

Me: “That’s not what I asked” (but points for making sure you understand whats happening)

Her: “The first person that comes to mind is Steph Curry, but probably Anthony Rizzo.”

Me: “Ahh because he humps the plate?”

Her: “I mean yeah, but NO! HE OVERCAME CANCER!”

Me: “Ahh fair, I think I have what I need”

Her: “Wait, don’t overlook Steph Curry though!”


Anyways, its time for another week of Patty’s Players. It’s still slow season for sports, but baseball, training camp, and the WNBA playoff race are still chugging along. So without further ado, its time to announce the 3rd edition of Patty’s Players.


My player this week, is someone who brings excitement EVERY SINGLE TIME he steps on the field. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not Steph Curry. This man, or woman, let’s not be rash, its 2022, brings the HEAT every time he or she gets near a baseball diamond.


Oh, by the way, its not Anthony Rizzo either. No no no. This week I bring to you, my player: The Rocket City Trash Panda's Pyro Team.


WAY TO ROCK AND FIRE CHAMPS!



There is ZERO doubt that the pyro team for the Trash Panda’s really blew up this week, and for that, I salute them. Even the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles minor league teams can’t catch a break. Cheers to the future, I guess?

The New Orleans Pelicans will pick seventh in this year's NBA Draft. While that isn't the spot the Pelicans had hoped for (or perhaps planned for), there is still a lot to be excited about due to the exorbitant amount of talent this draft consists of.
