PR is a competitive industry. At BLAST we know that there are hundreds of other PR reps competing for the same editorial space and time that we are trying to secure for our clients. Our competitiveness in the office has extended again this year onto the softball field. It's our third year in a softball league, and this year's league started back in June. As the coach, I can proudly say that this year's team is the best we've ever had. We haven't had any losses...until last night. With the Groeppers on summer vacation and the Wernes at a family function, we recruited some subs to play last night in the "battle of the undefeated." We gave a strong showing and were ahead until the fifth inning, when the other team came back to tie us at 11 - 11. In the bottom of the seventh inning with one out, we lost to a home run. Completely over Chantal's head in center field - and the fence. If we're going to give up our undefeated status, I guess it's best to go out by a home run. We'll be back on the field again next Thursday for more action...and a win.
