Old-Man Strength

Old-Man Strength, words that describe the second puberty that certain individuals experience, is an Incredible Hulk-like metamorphosis that some men go through in their late twenties or early thirties, where their strength miraculously increases, without any lifting, or outside stimulus.

Nature has created this phenomenon and it is known by many. Strangely enough, doctors and scientists have yet to come up with a explanation for the anomaly.

It is clear, that in the Nahant Softball League, a bounty of old-man strength is key to both long term success and winning championships. Younger teams that lack the proper mix of speed, athleticism, and old-man strength haven't been regulars atop the podium as the Trophy's mix of names from past champions can attest.

Unfortunately for the young NFL ballclub, youth, coupled with a long layoff, caught up to them, and their lack of old-man strength led to their demise.

Galaxy was riding a wave of momentum coming off upset wins against The Gulls, GEA, and the Brickyard consecutively. NFL on the other hand had laid dormant for two weeks while Galaxy laid the rest of the competition to rest, in their beds, with their boy size diapers on.

Old-man strength is a strange animal, it is a double edge sword in the fact that with it comes horrible side effects that are not all pretty.

Back pain, baldness, body hair, dick shrinkage, not necessarily things a man looks forward to in life.

However, the ability to protect your young, move furniture, rake leaves, and most importantly, smash the ever-living-shit out of a Thunder Heat standard NSL issue softball, are among very attractive consequences of your second puberty.

Galaxy molded a group of young athletes with enough man strength to sneak by NFL. By playing quality defense behind R. Moleti who has been lights out in 09' Galaxy put themselves into position to win another title for the long-time franchise.

In a closely contested game one, NFL showed some diamond rust making some key errors that led to much needed runs for Galaxy.

Moleti kept the speedy, potent top of the NFL order off the base baths to help Galaxy earn a win in a barn-burner, 4-3.

Game two was much the same with some good defense by Galaxy. The veteran bunch got key hits with runners in scoring position to vault them into the lead. With Moleti on the mound the small lead would hold up, as the bottom of NFL's order again struggled to get anything going against the classic Moleti cheese that had been gaining height with each additional contest. Galaxy put up eight runs, just enough to eek out another big win in their amazing playoff run.

Galaxy moves on to the final with a quarterfinal sweep of the penant winning NFL to face the winner of the Knighs vs. Barbarians Game 3.

Fortunately for the Galaxy squad they ate spinach at a young age, gaining enough man strength to tip the boat in their favor during their ride the the final. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, nature created old-man strength for a small group of females as well. Take it all in, and don't even question it, she'll destroy you.
