SIGNED Borland Softball League Championship Softball!!!
This item represents a fairy tale ending to a company softball league.
Letter from Chris Hesik:
2000 Inprise Softball League Champions “Virtual Base”
Championship Game Signed Game Ball (and a receipt from the subsequent celebration at the Felton Round Table Pizza)
Date: 9/18/2000
Score: 23-15
After having played and lost to the Inprise Sales team several times during the season, no one thought that Virtual Base, made up of mostly Delphi and C++Builder R&D and QA Engineers, had much of a chance when the two teams met again in the League Championship game. A strong first inning rally gave Virtual Base a large lead that lasted the entire game.
