12 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News • JUNE 2014 NEWS West Palm Beach - The boys of summer are now proudly wearing the red & black of Maritime Reporter. With this publica- tion’s backing, a 6U T-ball team is set- ting course for a championship. This ? eet of tiny titans drops anchor at Phipps Park in West Palm Beach each weekend, followed by a ? otilla of fans. The boys, some of whom have played together for three seasons running, are seeing their hard work pay off. New to the squad, ? rst baseman Rob- ert Howard is formidable at the plate and has a glove like a gill net. Anything but an ordinary average guy, pitcher Joe Walsh holds down the center of the in- ? eld, while shortstop Yampiel Chavez provides speed, range and power. Utility man Gus Doskey has never seen a base he didn’t want to slide into. Simon Fox comes from a long line of baseball-play- ing brothers and can play any position on the ? eld, and Brian “Big B” Fowler provide depth at second and third, while free spirit Harrison Warwick handles the catching duties. In the out? eld it’s broth- erly love when Angel Perez and James Perez-Gomez hustle to the ball. To be fair, they’ve also been known to ? ght over it. The family affair continues with Bud Miller, Walsh’s cousin, who is the resident roughneck, and has the scars to prove it. Rounding out the group is Mr. Nice Guy Samuel Mojica, a gentle soul and man-child of few words who lets his bat do the talking. The Maritime Report- ers are managed by Dan Doskey, who would be lost at sea without assistant coaches Rob Howard, Joe Walsh & Rog- er Warwick. However, the real captain of this ship is team mom Tracy Mojica, who keeps the dugout running on plane at all times. Big Red’s championship as- pirations fell just short in mid-May, but the ensuing team party at a local restau- rant buoyed the young slugger’s spirits, and presumably left the staff of the res- taurant scarred for life.
