League Report: Remembering Sal Gioeli

It was a bittersweet week for members of the Over the Hill Gang (OTHG) softball league.  The 2011 season kicked off Friday, but not before the league paid tribute to Sal Gioeli.  Gioeli was an OTHG pioneer, one of the men who helped build the league to what it is today.  On Tuesday, several dozen OTHG players, past and present, formed an honor guard as Gioeli’s funeral procession drove past Allen Park one final time.

 In Friday’s game action: Look out, Changing Times (CT) Pub has a new look. Over the winter, CT retired several players and was able to get some young blood. On opening day, CT posted 13 runs in the first inning and added runs each inning to defeat McCourt & Trudden Funeral Home (31-15.)
