When EA lost its MLB license, it turned to BAD ASS Baseball and Jason LaRose. |
|
|
|
...yes, he does. Ask this windshield he smashed at Taylor in 2004. |
|
|
|
|
Leland Yow's artistic talents on display...the following 4 shots are all Leland works... |

As he proves here, Alvin Trinh can hit .600 in his sleep. |
|
|
|
The BAD ASS on the left, that's who.
|
|
|
|
|
Tim Pyle invited Kevin Holley to BAB...and this is how Kev repaid him (accidentally). |
|
|
|
Greg Sacramento really got into Easter last season. |
|
|
|
In 2005, Greg Minor lost a bet to Rob Flores that cost him his hair. Rob wasn't quite finished cutting when this pic was shot. |
|
|
|
Cav Manning shows us the secret to his BAB success. |
|
|
|
They sure are. |
|
|
|
|
BAB is still trying to figure out what Skillz inhaled before coming up with the idea for his team logo. |
|
|
|
In 2004, BAB acquired installable bases to use at Columbus Park. 2nd base became so comfortable, it decided to plant roots. |
|
|
|
Practically every man present tried to pry the stubborn bag loose... |
|
|
|
...the base-pulling effort was too much for Cav Manning's back; his friends had to drive him home. He'd later be hospitalized for the injury! |
|
|
|
During 2006's Cutz/Nutz series, Greg Lynas brought out his dog Max, for good luck. He had the mojo...for a while. |
|
|
|
|
Al, Leland and Cav laugh it up. |
|
|
|
After the final game of 2006, Cav presented his McGillicutty's with Game 7 "championship" rings, as he did for the Dirty Sanchez in 2005.
|
|
|
|
If ya didn't see it on the Smackboard, here's our very own Rob Flores circa 1996, during his Army stint. |
|
|
|
...yes, it's really him! |
|
|
|
This pic speaks for itself.
|
|
|
|
|
The following few pix are courtesy of Rob Flores, captain of the Reservoir Donkeys vs. Soonam's Tsunami Terrorists in 2005.
|
|
|
|
My personal favorite.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Terrorist Skillz paid the price when he dared talk smack.
|

Both NY teams are represented in BAB.

When Kevin, Leland and Cav bet, the end result is a case of who's who. |

Sac may not care about the camera, but Ed loves it. |
|
|
|
|
A shot from the Wench Creek camping trip in 2007... |
|
|
|
...Ed never saw it coming. |
|
|
|
Some funny shit. |
|
|
|
Ed didn't let a busted finger prevent him from playing defense in 2006; he just borrowed buddy Joel's glove--using it here to retire him at 1B. |
|
|
|
Steven broke his ankle in 2005 and sat out all of 2006. He proved he was fully recovered on Opening Day 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
Coming soon to a theatre near you...
|
|
|
|
In 2007, using a fastball to the dome, Lynas took out the mighty beast that is Skillz.
|
|
|
|
Lynas is congratulated by Cav after homering on Opening Day 2007---his first since August 2005! |
|
|
|
The 2007 All-BAD ASS Team, shown here at the Awards Banquet. |
|
|
|
...much suspense prior to the announcement of the 2007 Most Valuable Player, thanks to Cav. |
|
|
|
|
In late 2007, Cav got re-acquainted with Dave D., back in BAB after a LONG absence. |
|
|
|
The conditions at Goodson on Opening Day '08... |
|
|
|
...running hard to first would require bravery... |
|
|
|
...sliding to 3rd required, well, Skillz. |
|
|
|
Uniforms? One league's loss is the Scrubs...I mean, the "Dawgs" gain. |

Kevin K. sent everybody home on March 2, 2008. |
|
|
|
|
Strong winds took hold of the Blue Monster in 2008. After several minutes, BAB gave up at retaking control. |
|
|
|
Technically, Bryan's face was NOT hit by a throw in early 2008. Try telling HIM that. |
|
|
|
Ed gave his all to bring back Torance's homer, but came up short. |
|
|
|
In 2008, Johnny 5 did his part to prevent any future Kuzmiaks. |
|
|
|
Leland, moments after breaking his 5-year homer drought with TWO on Easter Sunday 2008. |
|
|
|
|
A great action shot from '08. |
|
|
|
BAD ASSes get their work in before the games. |
|
|
|
Just the latest of Andraesen's many eccentricities. |
|
|
|
Classic old-school photo of Tito & Cav. |

|
|
|
No fence? No problem--BAB used bags, cones and, yes, LEMONS instead! |
|
|
|
Ed and Kuz bond after the former's side injury. |
|
|
|
A great action shot from BAB 2006. |
|
|
|
2008: Ed beats Cav to the bag, as the throw gets away... |
|
|
|
|
Kuz and Rob can't remember who began to sacrifice BAB games for hockey... |
|
|
|
Two goateed power hitters with defensive issues. But only one is a true BAD ASS. |
|
|
|
Tito would win Pitcher of the Year for 2007... |
|
|
|
Kuz was an easy choice for Most Improved... |
|
|
|
...while Ruben was the league's top rook. |
|
|
|
|
The two best power hitters in BAB today flex their guns. |
|
|
|
Just like Shawn Kemp, BAB only uses protection once a year. |
|
|
|
In 2009, the Scrubs did the undoable! |
|
|
|
Alvin gets love after homering in the 2009 season opener. |
|
|
|
When all is said and done, it is the men of BAD ASS Baseball---including the 3 Gregs---that make the league what it is. |
