Boy, talk about the celebrities that show up at the “super seniors” games (Ale Lomosod scored the go-ahead run on a Jim Bennett RBI in Na Koa Kupuna’s 16-15 win, and likes that term better than “Baniaga division”). Wes Kaui (is he part of the Keonimana Gents?) said Guy Ruiz is a St. George Hall of Famer with 55 Gold Rings (Wes said he only has three), and Robert Romero (the super newspaper carrier) was sharing microphone duty with Eric Sakazaki. No wonder Wes could go cruising through the crowd, where Galen Shigeta and Aaron Uyeda were talking baseball.

Jerry Miccolis (was that him at third base for the Tsunami?) said a portion of sales from his “The Boys of Late Summer” will help the Kaua‘i Independent Food Bank (and where was Kelvin Moniz?), and the Koloa Cane Cutters were thrilled when Mayor Derek Kawakami dropped in last week to practice with the team.
Larry Rego of the Ahukini Wharf Rats said there actually was a Wharf Rat team several generations back when the women were named Wharf Rats. Ernie Domingo (how many hits?) had to go meet his friend at the “W” store before lunch.
