John Koblin of The New York Observer has the internal e-mail from The Wall Street Journal about its 26-1 softball victory against Bloomberg News this past weekend that included a pinch-hit single by managing editor Robert Thomson.
“WSJ didn’t disappoint, scoring 10 runs in the first two innings and piling on more throughout the game. Solid pitching from Pat Macri and Chris Morino, and a strong defense anchored by short-stop Russell Adams and second basewoman Shira Ovide, prevented Bloomberg from scoring for most of the game. WSJ sluggers Paul Glader, Darren Everson, Tom McGinty, Serena Ng and Mark Whitehouse aided the offense with multiple hits.
“In the bottom 6th inning, with WSJ leading 20-1, Mr. Thomson got up to pinch hit. Grabbing a bat, he mimicked a cricket swing and asked co-captain and senior editor Mike Siconolfi if that would work before stepping up to the plate. ‘Whatever it takes,’ replied Mr. Siconolfi.”
