Team History:
A wise coach once said that championships are won in the off-season. I wish he had been our coach. Since its storied quarterfinals berth at the 2002 show, Atlanta’s Chain Lightning has rested on its proverbial laurels. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that we haven’t been preparing. I’m just telling you that we like our laurels. In the words of our cockiest player, Timmy Halt, “Why should we work harder and practice longer when you’ve got me on the team. Get on my shoulders, boys.” Even our captain, Crawford Shippey, is not immune to such rhetoric. When asked back in May what he thought we should do to get better this season, he calmly stated: “Relax fellas. Our region has an extra bid this year.” Our first practice wasn’t until mid-September.

But, seriously folks…we are young, fast, and fearsome. And when we’re not being stupid, we’re pretty smart. Chain is a name that Atlanta has carried into battle since the early eighties, and we aim to please the links that came before us. So, don’t be surprised if you hear, off on a distant pitch in Sarasota on a clear, blue day, the rumble of something amazing…kaboom!
