York Region Finals
9/29/2008

So this is it. The end of the 2008 season. It’s September. The air is a bit crisper, the leaves are changing colour and warm up jackets are a must.

Looking back, the regular season could be described in one word: Painful. Moral was low and so were expectations. Here were some of the quotes early on in the season:

“@!#!@!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@!!%!%^!!!”- Sean Park (after winning a game)
“I’M GONNA FREAKING RETIRE! I HATE SOFTBALL!”- Hugo Yoon
“I HATE (being) SOFT PAUL AND SOFTBALL!!”- Paul Ahn
“I HATE BEING CHINESE!”- Mike Ho (before obtaining his Honorary Korean Citizenship)
“I HATE GIRLS!”- Claudio Yoon

Yeah, it was that bad. The future was looking sour in the early stages of the season. That all changed for the playoffs.

Knocking out the 3rd and 1st place teams, Genesis was heading into the finals with momentum. Many considered the team as the darkhorse that could pull the upset against the 2nd seed Anthony’s Small Engines for the York Region Championship.

Genesis was looking to accomplishing what few expansion teams can do. Win a championship in their first year.

After winning the 1st game with ease, Genesis seemed like they were in control to take game 2. They broke down for 1 inning and that was the deciding factor plus Sean Park being selfish.

“@!#!@!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@!!%!%^!!!”- Sean Park
“@!#!@!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@!!%!%^!!!”- Rest of the Team

With teams backs up against the wall in Game 3, Genesis and Anthony’s Small Engine (ASE) were going back and forth each inning answering each other's scores. It was a real nail biter till Genesis broke out and mercied ASE with 10 runs in one inning. The game suddenly got a lot quieter and it seemed like the Small Engine ran out of gas and stalled.

“Clutch” was the only word to describe the hitting displayed by Genesis who were determined to win it and complete the upset.

With a ground out to the 2nd baseman Shyn, the Genesis team is crowned 2008 YRL Men’s Slo Pitch CHAMPS!

For his efforts, Sean Park then got jizzed on with a cold shower during the celebrations.

“@!#!@!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@#!@!!%!%^!!!”- Sean Park
