Gene Suttle
Wiffle Atlanta
Gene Suttle was Jordan Kadrie's right-hand man for every season til this one, the league's first Fun-Star winner, one of the most entertaining players on the field at any time, and probably the most well-liked player as well. If it weren't for him, this league would still be where it was in 2005. He is very responsible for each venue that we have all played at (from the slightly open Tucker Middle School football field to the wonderful Glenlake Park field we use and occupy now). However, regardless of how his team played, his trademark voice (gravelly with a hint of big league announcer in there) could always be heard calling out the count, or shouts of "Oh mama!" piercing the air after a homerun, but always with the gleeful tone of a 10 year old seeing his first baseball game and who, somehow, has already had his fill of cigarettes. Anyway, I speak for the whole league when I say that we'll miss Gene's presence around the field each and every weekend, and we all wish him good luck in his future endeavors in the great white north (or North Carolina, whatever).
