Who knew that a "philosophy of sports" would reveal itself so clearly through the experiences of a recreational softball team (The Mooseheads) in an over-40's men's City League. The Mooseheads were a 1-win/19-loss team racked with disunity and disharmony, but within two years these same well-seasoned players (with a few additions) became League Champions, including an undefeated regular season.

And, if it cannot adequately describe and incorporate the reality of men playing softball, it is deficient. When the Mooseheads ch
