About the Team

Our softball team, The Thrillers, is excited to be celebrating our 11th year together! Since forming in the fall of 2014, our team has not only grown incredibly close but has also recently achieved our fourth championship, a testament to our dedication and teamwork.

The idea for our team actually sparked during the Halloween season of 2014, inspired by our comical attempts to master Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance. This fun beginning naturally led to our team name and our distinctive orange and black colors. We even have a fantastic logo, created by one of our substitutes, featuring a werewolf's hand gripping a softball.

Socializing is a big part of our team culture, and we always make sure our games are well-hydrated with plenty of Labatt Blue and Blue Light in our cooler.  Last year, the addition of Labatt Blue Light Raspberry Lemon was a huge hit! We truly appreciate the fun and welcoming atmosphere of our beer league.

Over the past decade, we've also developed our own unique team culture, complete with nicknames and inside jokes that have become essential to who we are. As the "Skip," a nod to the legendary Jim Leyland, I'm part of a team that includes our own outfield "Evelyn" (inspired by A League of Their Own), a "Speed Turtle" who brings a unique rhythm to base running, and our catcher, Cheryl, famous for her enthusiastic "Cheryl Takes Two" chant after our games! These shared experiences truly highlight our camaraderie.
