That was what my baseball team was like for all the years we played - however, they didn't switch up teams, we were the same people year after year after year.
One year we finally won the championship (don't ask me how) and all got little trophies. After that it was downhill all the way until this year nobody wanted to play.
Other than jumping to conclusions, that was the only exercise I ever got.

Time to retire ... always leave at the peak of your skills!
My body has been telling that it's time to retire. The only thing is that I am the youngest one on the team...

In a way this is a sad note about a good thing. After playing soccer for almost 30 years I have finally won a championship. Yes, that's pretty sad although there was break of about 10 year so it was 'only' 20 years but still. In my youth teams I was not part of a very strong generation and we never did very well although I vaguely remember that I finished 2nd when I switched clubs. I started to win some hardware when I started to play with the bank. We won a cup tournament and in the last game with them was the game where we won the play-offs. But I had never finished first after a regular season...till this year.
I am still playing in the Burlington Senior Recreational league which is fun since it is not (supposed to be) competitive. Every 2 years the teams are completely changed again and that why I play this year in a different team as last year. The start of the season was very poor. During the league cup tournament we lost all our games with the exception of 1 and that one wasn't a win. But as soon the season started, we also started to win. At one point we even were 7 points ahead of number 2 and then.... we started to lose (which started to happen when I was injured but I really had not much to do with this; really). Last Friday there was only 1 point difference between us and the number 2 and there were only 2 games left in the regular season. We barely won with quite some luck but till today we never found out what number 2 did. It turns out that they lost which means that I have finally won a regular season championship. It only took me 30 years...
