Our next athlete Mark, named after St. Mark by his parents has the heart of a lion(seen above is St. Mark with a lion behind him) and the eye of the tiger. On the field he gives us everything he has and is always going a 100%. He commands respect behind the plate and is always on TOP of the other teams lineup. Mark has also fought threw a tough injury which he suffered vs. the fire a couple years back. In a game vs. the fire guys are not always going 100% percent but not St. Mark. He went threw the short stop rounding second base and it caused for serious harm not only to the girl(who was knocked out cold) but to Mark as well. After thinking he slightly bruised his knee he was diagnosed with a torn ACL....Talk about a tough guy!!! As a youngster Mark was raised in Bogota so we do not know much about him, however we are aware that he did play for the town team on the same team as James O'leary. When Mark got to Wyckoff he continued to play sports. In high school Mark was a two year member of the track team and a member of the freshman hoops team. Mailly has really come into his own this year on the softball team. He is batting above .800 and is really producing. His speed looks great and he looks like he finally has recovered fully from the ACL injury. Mailly was recently asked about his recovery from the ACL surgery and his response to his full recovery was, "Some guys never lose it"! Another thing to add about Mark is that he coached a great high school recreation team that included Myself, willy and Sam to a rec finals appearance. They did lose in the finals, but Coach Melly did a great job of getting us their and coached the team in a tight loss without Toal due to track. This shows Marks intelligance and savvy he has for the game of basketball. I have heard a lot of RUMORS over the past day about where Mailly got some of his catching abilities but we will not go there on the blog! We are all proud of mark and we could see him moving up the lineup real soon! Stay hotttt!
what a life!
ReplyDeletePretty sure we're overlooking the fact that Mailly won a beer olympics at Rutgers in 2005. Although he did have the unfair advantage of competing as team France, a country known more for their wine sipping & absurdly good looking people than binge beer drinking, the feat should not go unnoticed for the purpose of this blog series. Congratulations Mark Mailly, or as we say in the motherland, "Les félicitations Mark Mailly"!
ReplyDeleteNo knock on Team "France" but I still cant believe you guys won the Beer Olympics at Rutgers. I guess Schiano's boys Teel, Sammy J, and Big "Dom" Stud were not invited.
ReplyDeleteGreat win Mel, you have the Heart of a Lion, the Bladder of a Shark, and the Temper of an Irishman.
I remember it like it was yesterday- Mrs. White's class (or whatever her name was), language arts in 6th grade. we have to tell her what our I-Search report is on. all of us pick our dads until recchione and i spin around when some kid wearing a "Hey!" shirt says he's doing tim duncan. not gonna lie, at first i thought the kid was a joke, i was like dude you can't do tim duncan, it's not like i picked edgar martinez, and he proceeded to shut me up with tales of his adventures with the 7-footer from wake. great guy, better teammate.
ReplyDeletethanks jay... i can always appreciate you... on to chach'n'styles... you shittin me? you knocked 2 of your teammates in that little comment there, me and drew... and drew knows better than anybody, dom cant hold a candle to jeff and choi drinkin beers and i know me and drew would hold it down anyday in 05 against teel and sammy... RIGHT DREW? RIGHT????
ReplyDeleteI guess the last sentence from you was supposed to be a compliment, so thanks for that
I think that we are forgetting that not only did Melly and I flat out dominate year two of the Rutgers Beer Olympics, but we would probably have won in year one if not for Marco's piss poor drinking ability, and Darryl Birtwhistle with a bullshit call.
ReplyDeletePs. Spoon, Sammy, and Dom would be a good crew, based solely on the fact that I have seen Sammy chug a Jack and Coke while smoking a cigarette at the same time.
