Scrimmage Game Recap

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Last night we learned a lot about ourselves, including:

  1. Kristin is fearless behind the plate
  2. Jon is so fast that it is physically impossible for him to stop at second base
  3. And to the play the outfield you have to be willing to sacrifice your body

Thanks for coming out, playing hard, and having fun. It’s going to be a great season!

Website Launched

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

The Company Softball Team Website has been launched.  This site will be used for posting our schedule, roster, game recaps, stats and any other team news.

About this Site:
It is built on WordPress 2.7 and integrated with Facebook Connect for cridentialling.  It uses the Event Manger plug-in for event management and the Google API for mapping and directions to the fields.  The site is mobile-friendly and enables our team captain to post updates just by sending an email from his phone to the site.  This way late-breaking news such as rainouts can be quickly posted to the site.

A photo gallery is still in development for sharing game and other pictures.

The team also has a twitter account @companysoftball for sharing team news.

The site was developed and hosted by Jon Deutsch with help from Bryn Sartain and Jesse Holzbach.
