Springfield Open results appear on a separate page.
In 2003-2004, Springfield's hardcore traveling squad managed to hit tournaments in Milwaukee, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Kansas City, Indianapolis, and St. Louis. Our best showing was St. Louis, where we fielded four or five teams, including a
couple for the 90's on Friday. No road victories, though one local team managed to place 9th at the Illinois States and 3rd
in St. Louis. No major physical injuries to the traveling squad - a well-balanced diet of Bextra & beer (vitamins B-1
and B-2, though not necessarily in that order)kept the blood thin and flowing - and no one suffered more than the usual mental
injuries associated with riding the paddle circuit.
In spite of the personalities of Springfield Paddle's ambassadors, hopefully we drummed up some support for our tourney.

Enrique Pozo, Charlie Root, Red Shoes Kepner, and Bubba Barnes after their five set "battle royale."
Just trying to fill some space. This is a negative of an image of Herb FitzGibbon driving a forehand taken from Bob Callaway's
"Platform Tennis." I thought it was pretty cool looking.
