Founded: 2006 Founder: Matt Haberle 2008 Record: 3-2-0 2008 Results & Excuses 2009 Outlook All Time Record: 11-3-0 After a record run, the F'Donovans lost their first regular "season" game in three years of play, but were the only team in 2008 to beat the eventual Champion Wiffle Ballers.  Although a tough loss in the playoffs kept them from the Big Game, the strength of their pitching and body odor should carry them far in 2009.

	2008 RESULTS Opponent Result Field at Wiffle Ballers W: 8 - 6 Riverfront vs Jolly Wifflers W: 9 - 0 Veterans at Pride of the Whifflers L: 3 - 5 Veterans vs Mullany's Disciples W: 2 - 1 Riverfront at Mullany's Disciples* L: 0 - 4 Riverfront Notes: * = Playoff Game L: 6 - 8 Veterans 2008 EXCUSES A spiraling trend of offensive futility following their second game was a major cause of the F'Donovan's demise in 2008.  Coincidentally, a new keg was brought on-line right about that time.  3 out of 4 F'Donovans agree that some questionable pitching decisions were made as well. 2009 OUTLOOK The F'Donovans are clearly a perennial power and have continued their streak of playoff appearances and representation on the honor roll (Swede shared the pitching crown in 2008).  They'll be back in the playoffs in 2009 and may actually advance (assuming 1 out of 4 F'Donovans doesn't pitch).
