Willets Point
February 18, 2012

Player/Manager Flash Gordon got right down to business Friday afternoon, announcing his lineup and starting five with little fanfare or hoopla. The recently inducted MLB Hall of Famer had much experience with the dual role in his professional ball days, and said he was excited by the prospects of seeing Johnny Bench work from behind the plate.

When asked about whether 3-Finger Brown would make the rotation out of spring, he declined to commit, but did say, "If anyone short two fingers could pitch in this game, it would be Mordecai."  He is projecting that Braxton, Mitchell, Cicotte, and Kershaw to go one through four.
