| Probably my favorite moment would have to be when we were at WBA regional is Osceola, WI going out after the game with Gary driving the bus. All i remember is hitting a building while back up with the bus, then crashing a graduation party of sorts. But even before that when we went to the bowling alley to have some drinks with the opposing team, I'm not sure how, but as we were leaving the strangest thing happened to go flying down the street towards the bus; a bowling ball, go figure! Good job Tim, we are all proud of you!

| Watching Dustin pass a full beer out the window of the bus, on the interstate, to Lefty's girlfriend's boss, while going 65, with a fake arm mind you, brings back some memories.
And that block party in Abbotsford, and Bietlich swinging there, and the team we had to play the next day buying us Jaeger bombs and as we drink them Willie going "We're gonna kick your fucking ass", and me shattering the toilet, and Joe getting the famous "my son's a catcher" and Gary being three peoples dad and Willie leaving the bar up a couple hundred dollars. There is alot more from that weekend I'm missing.

| I would have to agree with Mike, Abbotsford will never be topped. By far the best time I've had with sparta miller.
Don't forget about Hefty puking all over the hotel and Millsy showing up out of nowhere and wearing the same clothes for 2 1/2 days.

| Going to the Stewartville Tourny with a guy we picked up in the bar two nights prior, and with only 1 pitcher.
Willie jumping on the mound from the stretch and the Ump not calling a balk due to the fact we were getting our asses stomped.
Mike pitching the entire first game, starting the second game and then coming back in to finish the second game.

| The most prestigious number in Sparta Miller History: 63
Yes, 63 strikeouts by Kyle Hatch. I think he ran 10 poles for each one, too.

| Abbotsford..
We got back to the Hotel and a car pulled up. The window went down and all you can see is girls. And then, out of nowhere, Stewie pops his head out. Atta boy Stew. I bet he had glorious dreams about that on, well, every trip back.

| We were getting beat by La Crosse at Copeland when Joe was ran over with a cheap shot elbow to the head. I was on second when a weak ground ball was hit threw the left side of the infield....Gary was just pointing home and all I can hear is Jared Manske say "Do it". The throw beat me by a good 3 feet. I could have slid safetly into home, but chose to run out of the baseline to exact my revenge on Joe's behalf. I got you Joe. Oh, I think we won that game!!!

| Getting back to the hotel in Madison at bar time after Willie had a gun pulled on him and having the cops called on us by shreck's sister who happened to be working the front desk that night. Dustin I believe you remember the number to Madison's fine law enforcement community. Then having Flaig show his hands to said cops at the ripe old age of 22.

| Not necessarily my favorite moment, but one worthy of this message board is me puking on the bus. And by on the bus I mean all over Gary's jacket and briefcase filled with yellow notebook papers with Bagy's phone number written fifteen times

| Now, I only witnessed the aftermath of this episode, due to the fact that I was passed out on the bus talking about security deposits at three in the morning. But it was when Mills, the weekend he came with only the clothes on his back, threw Dustin's poker set accross the hotel room, yelling why do you guys have to play poker, and breaking it.

| On the walk back from the block party in Abbotsford, Allen Servias wanted to race Willie. Keep in mind we spent the whole night drinking....Servias took took two steps, both crossing his body, and proceeded to plant his face straight into the ground!! Funny shit.

| We were playing La Crescent a few years ago. Eric Check was at the plate for us and Ben La Fluer was pitcher for the La Crescent. Ben hit Check for the 4th time in about as many plate appearances and Check proceeds to snap is bat on the ground. I think I saw shit roll down Ben's leg! by the way, did we trade Check for Ben??

| I seem to remember pulling up to a certain SPAMtown tourney in Austin last summer. When we reached Austin, more than one of us noticed a multitude of everyday citizens staring at the Sparta Miller bus go driving by, each with an expression on his/her face that would cause one to think they have never seen a bus before. Finally we reach the parking lot and the teams warming up on the field carefully observed the bus' parking lot entrance. Little did we realize until after we got off the bus, that our tailpipe had been dragging on the ground for quite sometime, which would no doubt explain the puzzled look on so many faces.

| I also recall the memorable night the cops stopped by from Shrek's sister calling, who Novak alluded to earlier. I was sitting in bet with a beer in one hand and the other hand under the sheets. Suddenly, one of the police gentlemen asked to see my hands. I quickly raised both hands. Then he asked me how old I was. I was 20 years old at the time. Nervously, but without hesitation I stated, "22, sir." He then immediately proceeds to ask Novak for his ID. (mind you, Novak looks like he's 35 years old, and I look like I'm 15 right now!) I was never asked for an ID.

| Earlier in the summer, a bunch of us stopped down at The Scoreboard and were having a grand time when all of a sudden we see this older woman hitting on Tim. By older I mean, later 20's early 30's. We came to know her as Captain Peterson. Anyway, she is hitting on Tim and asked him if he had any brothers or sisters. Tim's reply, "yeah". I think those were the only words he said to her the entire time! You have to quit talking peoples' ears off, Tim!

| We went to the clubhouse one night after bar time. We see the lights on in the house, so we went to investigate. Gary was passed out at the table. We knocked on the window...Gary wakes up and chugs a glass of milk and puts his head back down. We continue with our knocking. 20 minutes later he comes to the window and yells, "Are we having fun yet". Too funny.

| Who could ever forget the day that Sparta Miller solved one of lifes greatest mysteries?!? After a weekend day game, we went through a number of cases of beer when the question was asked...How do you drink someone underneath a table? A few hours later, we found ourselves at Nub's Pub, why, nobody knows. Paul and I had just finished beating two women in a game of pool. Paul was putting the finishing touches on by nonchalantly tossing the cue stick onto the table. He grabbed his beer off the table and took a seat at the edge. Unfortunately, it was a center leg table and it flipped over, spilling roughly 1,000 bottles of beer onto the floor. The music oddly stopped and the entire bar was looking at Paul...on the floor...under the table. Most shocking was; he didn't spill his own beer!

| It was the night we were running a chop shop out of the clubhouse. People were playing pool, drinking...Paul was in the corner grinding screws with sparks flying. After a test run, we lost one of the rims. Novak, Joe, Tim and I were riding around looking for it. We spotted a car parked in the parking of the nearby church. Novak jumped out with a mask on and ran up to the car...oddly enough there was somebody in it and all you hear Novak say is, "Hey, what's up". That was all around weird.

| One particular night early in the summer of 2007, a few hardcore sparta miller players attached a stuffed monkey to the hood of the bus and took it down old hwy 16 at top speed while the stuffed monkey threw its arms wildly in every which direction. it looked like something from a cartoon! Also, the driver of the bus almost putting the bus in the ditch at about 70 mph.

| We were playing Appleton in the NBC tourny a few years ago. Jared Manske had pitched the previous game, so he was coaching 3rd. Suddenly feeling hungry, he decides to argue a call that was clearly the right call just so he could get tossed from the game and go to the McDonald's across the street! Way to take one for the team!!

| Gary telling the story of the 6 toed cat in New Albin after a puppy strolled into the dugout. Not sure Gary realized it was a dog, but if he did...I'd love to see the thought process that quickly lead to the story! Oh, can't forget that there used to be a cornfield beyond the fence, probably where the 6 toed cat was buried, according to Gary

| After one of our games in the West Bend tournament in 2014, we had started drinking pretty heavily taking beer bongs and such on the bus. The whole team (minus Jay) proceeded to go downtown West Bend with about 4 or 5 underagers on the team. We had gotten into 4 or 7 bars without being carded once. At the last bar we went to, there was a band and everyone was having a great time, especially Barnsey who was head-banging to "Let the bodies hit the floor." Mitch was taking body shots and making out with a married woman. Warner and I were talking to a woman saying that we were brothers and that Tom-Bomb had a massive crank. We ended up closing down the bar and getting multiple cabs home. In our cab, we kept telling the cab driver that Tommy the Crank was hung like a horse... I'm pretty sure that was probably the most interesting cab ride I've ever been on from what remember.

| How about when Tinder first came out. We were on the bus after a game in Norwalk. We're all swiping right hoping to get some Norwalkian tail when Blado downloads the app. He's swiping so fast that he hits the button "share tinder with friends". He didn't realize this until his entire contact list started texting him asking what the hell is tinder. Classic.
