It is with great sadness that I report on the morning of Saturday, February 21st, peacefully in his home, Denver Hunt announced he will be Relocating In Province, forcing him to miss the entire 2015 NCBL season. The Shostappa will be taking a year long sabbatical in Kingston, where he’ll be recovering from a multitude…
2014 SweatSox Award Winners
Despite the worst season in the modern SweatSox era, the SweatSox constitution rules that year-end awards must still be handed out. While some honors, like the highly coveted Mr. Hyjinx, can’t be awarded at this time since there are still events like SweatSox Weekend and the NCBL Banquet in play, the rest we can do…

The 2015 SweatSox
As Webmaster for the award winning, highly popular, and most talked about website in the history of amateur baseball, I’m privy to information unavailable to the ordinary man. Since our season ended, my network of sources has reported that teams all across the NCBL have been wildly speculating about the immediate future of the SweatSox….
Limestone City
When the SweatSox started winning games late in the season, it became clear the majority of the team wasn’t ready to stop playing baseball. As our playoffs hopes were becoming more and more unlikely, and with no chance of an “official” NCBL Fall Ball season happening, it was time to look beyond the city limits…
“Hashtag Protest Twenty-Fourteen”
The official hashtag of the 2013 SweatSox was #Lettsanity, referring of course to Marc Lett’s championship winning walkoff grand slam. Even before the 2014 SweatSox season was over, we already knew what we’d be remembered for this year: #Protest2014. This story begins on a calm Friday night in July when the SweatSox took on the…
“Who Doesn’t Love Blowjobs?”
GAME 22 – “You Got Ginger’d” Heading into the final stretch of the regular season, our playoff hopes weren’t looking very promising as we sat in last place. After careful study the current standings, as well as the remaining Tier 2 schedule, we figured out what needed to happen to clinch a spot in the postseason. …
“Hold My Beer, I’m Going To Pee On His Leg”
The July 17th SweatSox vs Cornwall game was one of our more memorable nights in recent history, not just because of what happened on the field, but of what happened off the field, and then on someone’s leg; but lets talk about the game first. Having just played in the Brewers tournament, the SweatSox were…
“Our Hyjinx Is Their Foreplay”
In the preseason, the SweatSox circled Brewer Tournament weekend on our calendars as a time where we’d get to truly test ourselves against the league’s best. In the days leading up to the tournament, it was clear that there was really only 1 objective: SURVIVE. Heading into the tournament on an 11 game losing streak,…
“Hopefully He Hits A Tree And Dies”
“IF We Had Sex, She Raped Me” It seems like it was only three weeks ago that we hit the midseason point of our season on a 6 game losing streak, with high hopes of turning the season around on the other side. Well it was indeed nineteen days ago we started the second half…
The SweatSox #brewtourn15 Preview
Tonight at 6:30pm, the SweatSox return to the Brewers tournament for the first time since the first time back in 2008. After an offseason vote within our team about whether to make the jump up to Tier 1 was defeated, the logical compromise seemed to be to enter the annual Brewers tournament to see then how…
The 2014 SweatSox Midseason Report
The SweatSox are half way through the 2014 campaign, and we’re not exactly where Craig “The Prophet” Cornell projected we’d be in the preseason. With a 3-9 record, the tied-for-last-place SweatSox are on pace for our worst season since the 1-win 2001 season; but even that team put up 5.67 runs per game. The 2014…
“The Fisherman Left His Hook In The Fish”
The slumping SweatSox took their first 4-game losing streak since 2012 with them to Kinsmen last Friday night to face the Gatineau Marc Sports in the rubber match of their season series. Now in general, whenever the SweatSox play a game all NCBL eyes are squarely focused on that bout; but we’re the first to…
“Sh!t, I’m Jacked”
After nine full days off, the SweatSox returned to action last night at Southgate against the Cornwall River Rats, a team having their way with Tier 2 this year, almost like they’re playing video game baseball on the lowest difficulty setting. It’s not too late to send them up to Tier 1 right now is…

Hello friends. It’s been a while since we’ve gotten together here on the SweatSite for one of our illustrious write-ups, and it’s entirely my fault. I’ve been so busy working on a high-level top-secret government project, that I just haven’t had the time to gather my thoughts about this forgettable stretch of games, until now….
“I Could Be A Male Stripper If I Didn’t Have So Much Body Hair”
For the 10th time since Canadian singer/songwriter Bryan Adams has been alive, the SweatSox and Expos faced off in an NCBL regular season game Sunday at the Sportsplex. It’s always fun playing against the Expos, not because they’re one of the rare teams we have a winning record against (6-2-1), but because it’s one of the…
“Everyone Grab The Shaft And See How Sticky It Is”
Last night at the Sportsplex, for the 23rd time in the history of the universe, the SweatSox and Metcalfe Mudd faced off in an NCBL regular season game. With a losing record (10-12) against the Mudd, and looking to improve to 2-0 for the first time since the season Cory Bond & Josh Ramage combined…
“I’m a Triple Away from the Cycle”
For the first time since #Lettsanity, the SweatSox returned to game action last Thursday in Winchester, facing off against the Winchester Sox in Tier 2 Opening Day action. It didn’t take long for the SweatSox to pick up where they left off, with leadoff hitter Eric White taking the 2nd or 3rd pitch he saw…
