Softball Stories
The same writing staff that brought to you the Verdasys Softball 2008 website has dazzled readers for years with coverage of other amateur co-ed softball teams. (Which also happen to include A-WOL.) In fact, this is the writing staff's fifth season of such coverage. Join us as we take a walk back into time to review the staff's past works and reflect on the evolution of “the softball website” product.
 | 2004: The Corbett Connection
What happens when you mix a company team of outcasts, a handful of external players in need of a team, a rookie coach, a competitive softball league, a budding blogger named Corbett, a cheap digital camera and various "tragically misspelled" game summaries? An active and highly popular website that was the talk of the office. Join us as we follow A-WOL's adventures at the Softball Complex in Pittsfield, MA.

 | 2005: The Prima Donna Mutiney
Hot off a “stellar” 4-8 season, coach A-WOL looks to regroup the team and try their luck in a the less competitive Bud Hall League in Dalton, MA. After failing to round-up most of the 2004 cast, coach looks to recent office new hirers for recruits. The fun ensures when an overrated self-proclaimed softball “God” teams up with two team members with coaching ambitions of their own.

 | 2006: Veterinarians, not Veterans
With an uneasy season still fresh on the mind, A-WOL decides to step away from the lead job and focus more on the game. With that, Andy joins a team of animal veterinarians and lets a rookie coach take on the lead roll. Ironically, the team’s only win would come when A-WOL is asked to temporarily take the coaching position. Join the writing staff as they follow A-WOL play not only on a team of Vets, but also as a “softball mercenary” fill-in player for the Bud Hall league.

 | 2007: A Corbett by any other name...
Three solid seasons of softball coverage gains the attention of the commissioner of the Boston West Co-ED Softball League (BWCS), leading to a gig as “official league photographer.” Meanwhile, a strange series of events leads A-WOL into joining a team lead by a coach named Corbett. (What are the odds?) Follow A-WOL and writing staff as they journey to the opposite end of the state and find themselves in a competitive league consisting of over one hundred teams!
