We are the 3 Base Speeders, otherwise known simply as The Speeders. We are at the end of an era. We are no longer the team that was “Best of the Rest.” The title has finally been lost, after we got better.

On the bright side we do have a new title “The Oldest Average Team.” At 43.4 average player age we have now adjusted our recruiting to over 50s only to ensure we can hang on to this.
