Here’s my tale:
Having met MJ, Malcom and Chuck at EMR in late 1999, there was an almost instant bond formed. Our styles of play were similar. Our off field personalities matched well. The snowball effect that followed was unforeseen though. Being the only Bartender in NJ was at times hard to deal with, but as of late the entire team (from New England to the Carolinas) has been attending events all around the country. The growth of a team that "just wanted to play stand up ball" has amazed me at every turn. There is a lot more to tell in the "Tale of Grubermann", like the origination of the name itself. For that, You'll just have to ply me with witty banter and a semi-genuine interest. More to come…
