NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
BY THE NEW YORK NIGHTHAWKS
Dan Alexander, Pitcher
“No more hitting
batters, unless they’ve pissed off my buddies. Buy my girl flowers once a week.
Try not to yell at her parents. Remember, all I said was try.”
Matt Jackson, Catcher
“I plan to block the
plate against all runners, and hide it from the umpire. Also pledge to stop
criticizing Stormy, and telling her how to play softball. Yeah, I know, good
luck with the second one.”
Jake Lawrence, Third
Base
“I promise not to try
out for any more Broadway shows, with or without Kate. I plan to run two extra
miles before every game. Or at least try to. Trying counts, right?”
Nat Owen, First Base
“I swear I’ll stretch
my legs until I can do a split. Or at least add three more inches so I can get
every bouncer that comes my way. No, I haven’t been missing, but you can always
do better, right? As for women? Stay away from celebrities. Honest. Really. I
will. I’ve learned my lesson. I have, I swear.”
Bobby Hernandez, Second
Base
“I promise to read the
rest of Elena’s romance books in order. Also promise to stop giving Skip Quincy
a hard time off the field. Yeah, right --on the second one.”
Skip Quincy, Short Stop
“I don’t have to make
any because my book’s not out yet. But here goes anyway. I will stop listening
to Bobby Hernandez off the field. And I’ll forgive Billy Holmes. Women? Well, I
don’t want to spoil the story, so I’m keeping my resolutions about the women in
my life to myself.” *snickers.*
