Bill Margold got to be a softball manager for a day as his Free Speech Coalition all-stars, made up of porn performers, took a 16-3 drubbing at the hands of the southern California chapter of the VSDA.
Scotty Schwartz, feeling no affects from a weekend-long bachelor party in Vegas, wound up looking like a human strawberry. Schwartz got that way by hustling like Pete Rose with head first slides but, for the most part, hit like Gypsy Rose Lee. No matter, Schwartz converted one of his two lanky dingles into a full tour around the bases including a belly-down confluence with home plate. Unfortunately, Schwartz would have to have done that act another 13 times to give his team a fighting chance in the game.
"He'll do anything to get his name on the Internet,:" one onlooker mused about Schwartz.
First base coach Gloria Leonard feels that the Free Speech team played at a distinct disadvantage because it was stacked with a lot of women. Then, again, that's what the fans came out to see, she said. "We suck - but we're go at it," Leonard said. Mara Epstein served as the third base coach.
The Free Speech team had the following players in the game: Ron Jeremy, Chaz Vincent, Randy West, Rayne Fiero, Stryc-9, Kim Chambers, Schwartz, Cherry Blossom, Ginger Paige, Tony Montana, Brian Sebastion, Laurie Holmes, Sean Michaels, attorney Al Gelbard and Julie Meadows. Leonard, who was full of soundbites, said when Gelbard blew a play in the outfield, "we're going to sue him for mal-baseball."
Ed Powers, gimping around with a cane, due to a sciatic nerve impingement [he claims he got it from doing situps], was the home plate umpire. Proof that the apple sometimes falls a long way from the tree, Ron Jeremy introduced his dad. Jeremy Sr., for one thing, is quite slim. Also spied in the crowd were Ericka Lockett, Bobbi Bliss, Maren Beautte and Scott Styles.
Proceeds from the game went to the VSDA scholarship program. Sponsors of the outing included World Modeling, Clarion Suites, General Dentistry, Pegasus IV, i-candy Entertainment, Inc., Impressive Productions and G.E.M. Radio, KMNY 1600 AM.
