It is with sad news and much regret that Bits of Real Panther announces outfielder and slugger extraordinaire Matt Iazzetti has been lost for the season due to shredding his knee apart in a freak ball chasing accident while playing outfield for the team in its season opening victory over those who bond charged felons out of the slammer.
The management of BORP has publicly dedicated the season to him. He flew around the outfield with little regard towards life and limb and it is that kind of dedication and passion that has the team steam-rolling towards a league championship.
Once a visionary and leader on the field, his focus now turns to helping the team off the field. If the two innings of leadership in game one was any indication, the Sparky Anderson of low-level, co-ed, recreation league softball is likely in our midst.
Like a true champion, Mr. Iazzetti has taken the injury in stride. Although his playing days are over, he has been seen at and participated in such rebel-rousing team functions like knocking some Dr Peppers back at Cricket's and braving the cold air of local movie theaters.
His example is met by only a few; but, followed by many.
Mr. Iazzetti, this season is for you.
