So the talented but poor country farmboys from Arroyo Grande didn't have a chance. It is rumored that mob-controlled Las Vegas gambling syndicates were also involved. So in an elaborate scheme, the Menlo Park team's wealthy parents, each high tech Silicon Valley executives, paid hundreds of thousands in cash and high tech stock to the local Hayward umps to have them tilt the game, enabling Menlo Park to defeat the vastly superior Arroyo Grande team. (It should be noted that immediately after the game, the umpire was seen paying cash for a brand new convertible El Dorado at the local Hayward Cadillac dealership.) Many in attendance concluded that this game represented an umpire bribery scandal nearly equivalent to the Chicago White Sox' ("Black Sox") throwing of the 1919 World Series. Many witnesses claim the runner sliding into home was clearly tagged "out" but the corrupt home plate umpire ruled otherwise.

So my revisionist history theory story is as follows: "Arroyo Grande lost to Menlo Park in extra innings by one run in a game plagued by a series of egregiously horrible umpire calls, all in favor of Menlo Park this included the final call at home plate at the bottom of the 14th inning where Menlo Park scored the winning run. Truth be told, my only reason for researching what happened was to hopefully console myself by learning that Arroyo Grande had actually gone on to win the NorCal championships back then! That kind of story would have made our team look a little better in retrospect! 10-to-1! Ouch! I had never even bothered to research this until now just found an article where Menlo Park was to play the "Sacramento vs Berkeley" winner in the NorCal finals. It is unknown how far the Arroyo Grande All-Stars got in the NorCal tournament, but they did get eliminated at some point. Arroyo Grande beat us 10-1, thus advancing to the eleven-team Northern California championships in Hayward / San Leandro. This was essentially for the regional four-county championship. In the single elimination tournament, we beat Fort Ord, Hollister, and Salinas Valley in the finals.Īs winners of "Monterey + San Benito Counties," we then played Arroyo Grande, winners of the prior week's "San Luis Obispo + Santa Barbara Counties" tournament.

On the other hand, how to quit is simply by pressing the 'escape' key.Our Tri-Cities 13-Year-Old Babe Ruth League All-Stars won the "Monterey + San Benito Counties" Championships at Veterans' Memorial Park Ballfields in Hollister.
However, if the time ends and the bad unicorn fails to collide with the other, symbolically, love wins over hate.If the player/s wish/es to play again, he/she can do so by simply making the characters move again by pressing the keys mentioned above.
Once the bad unicorn collides with the good one, as indicated by a sound, it means game is over and unfortunately 'hate' wins. This is a 2-player game represented by 2 unicorns as my sprites, wherein 1 is considered a 'good' one(the normal-looking unicorn) and the other one (who is posed like scaring someone) is the bad character in our game.Basically the mechanics of the game is that the bad one would have to chase the good one around within the duration of 60 seconds(as shown on the upper left timer).How to move the sprites is by pressing the 'right', 'left', 'up', 'down' keys for the good unicorn, and the keys 'w', 'a', 's' and 'x' for the bad unicorn.
