The third annual Kyle Hunlock Series will get underway in just ten days. This special, intra-club event is named for fallen Falcon #36 and is a great opportunity for all HBC members to enjoy some friendly (yet competitive) postseason baseball at Grovehill.
LIVE ONLINE DRAFT
Unlike years' past, the 2008 Hunlock Series will set aside the established regular season rosters. Instead, three new managers will draft three new teams from all available Herts players. The Red Roosters, Blue Dogs and Black Widows will be comprised of Raptors, Hawks and Falcons. During the live online draft next week (Thursday 18 September, 8pm) the managers must make shrewd selections when stacking their bench with pitchers, catchers, position players and sluggers.
A Draft Prospectus with relevant hyperlinks will be posted a few days before the event. Plan to get online next Thursday around 7.45pm and tune-in to the Herts Baseball Internet Radio station. You will be able to listen to live commentary from the League Commissioner, hear live interviews with the Team Managers and potential superstars, and follow each draft pick as it happens… including your own!
2008 MANAGERS

Red Roosters – Hunter Devine
Blue Dogs – Tim Elkins
Black Widows – Marty Cullen
