DD Being Forced to Change her Number, might leave team!

[Supersuds]

so.......my older DD has been # 8 for years....not sure where it came from. We are so used to cheering crazy 8, Ocho, here we go 8.....

anyway...she had to change her number as we changed teams. The cool thing is that her good friend on the old team wanted to be #8 all along so we loaded her up with all our stuff.

So....she was not upset.....and just chose 21. She said....#21 can't lose in blackjack...I like that number!"

Done deal...here we go blackjack!

Could have went with "88" crazy ochos, ochos, here we go 8's. sounds cool just a thought.

Talk about grinding the economy to a halt! With all this reading to do, how is anybody going to get any work done today?

Before I go back to reading...is this the one with the pole barn? or should that one be resurrected as well?

Pole barns were introduced to suburban America in this post...
This is the Holy Grail of Heybucket posts...

I challenge you to read the opening paragraph of the OP and not HAVE to continue down the path of literary nirvana.
Here are a couple exerpts:

All is good and well, except, one of the players being folded in has the same uniform number as my DD. We point this out to the coach right away and inform him DD has already expressed concern over this and does not want to change her number.

My DD is the first string pitcher on her team.

Tonight, at a parent meeting we are told that the player folded into our team, well, her family has been with the organization for years, her parents own a pole barn, therefore, pretty much, since she doesn't want to change her number, they are going to stand loyal to her and not make her.

My daughter is in tears.

The organization did offer to buy her a pair of sweats and hoodie to sweeten the deal with her new number. I thought that was a pretty nice offer and tried to sway her to think of another really cool number, but that proved futile.

I told my daughter that I wouldn't make her pitch under a number she didn't want, but that her only other recourse would be to change teams.

She is torn and crying. I don't blame her. And frankly I'm a little put off that she's being asked to begin with.

The other young lady plays outfield. My daughter is a good pitcher, 13, throws 55 mph, can throw 6 different pitches, and is known for her accuracy.

Dammit, this gets better with each reading...
