(We'd like
to thank Tom Fish for the great banner!)
With
a steamy summer weekend in store for us in Pittsburgh, Squatch subtly
suggested we pack some cool beverages to help everyone chill at the
Retreat!

Pete Ventura (left) hypnotizes Bill Blair and John McKenna, but Fran
Larkin spies the camera and finds the flashing lights much more
interesting than what Pete has to say!
(That's Glenn Mercer in the foreground, and "Old Tom" Jordan's cap,
probably with Old Tom under it.)
The
guys are eager to start rolling, even though the tourney doesn't start
until tomorrow!
Let
the games begin! David Pagano (left) plots his strategy while John
Schoeb attempts to decipher David's hand signals.
Craig Pillow (left)
and Bill Blair score a tight game.

and Pete's Replay History display.)

Tom" Jordan (left) studies Tom Fish's lineup before plotting his own
strategy.

and Jeff "Ringo" Ring anticipate the home plate ump's call in the
slide-and-tag at the plate...
...while Bob Maurer
(left) and Mike Mathias take in the action.
John
McKenna couldn't cross the border without his ORBL dice roller!
Another milestone in tabletop baseball history--Fran Larkin (right)
rolls his first ever face-to-face game in 49 years! Ringo had the
honors.
Glenn Mercer (left) trusts acting ump Craig Tyle to make sure Ringo's
pitcher doesn't touch his mouth while on the mound in the Replay Tourney
championship game.
Replay Tournament Champion Glenn Mercer admires his winning 1967 Giants
team. Congratulations, Glenn!
