With the sun gently setting on the Pacific
Ocean and the last spike exploding off the sand, the Hov high-stepped into his
post tournament victory dance in sweet rejoice. Then paused and said,
"[a]fter 60 plus tournament victories, my career wouldn't have been
complete without a BarryBob Championship. With that monkey off my back,
tell everyone else they're playing for second place next year."
"That
was a great end to a great event," commented veteran Matt Gage.
"It's
the kind of team you want to see in the finals: they provide such great
entertainment," said Marc Walmer. "You've got Ack bombing balls,
Hov's showmanship, Rico's silver tongue, and a cute chick digging balls and
dishing nectar. What more could you ask for?"
Rumor
has it that Jim Arico was still so giddy after his tournament win that on his
way to work on Monday morning he stopped by Growing Wild to give Lee
Hoven Bakos a big post-tournament victory hug. And so goes another successful
chapter in the BarryBob Invitational archives.
