Another year atop standings for Operators Red
Date Posted: August 31 2001
Congratulations to the Operating Engineers Local 324 Red team, which strong-armed the rest of the Detroit Building Trades Softball League en route to the league championship with a
19-4 record.
This is the third year in a row the Red team has won the championship. Last year, they cruised through the season undefeated."The Red team has a lot of good ballplayers, and it's been another great year," said Local 324 Business Manager Sam T. Hart. "I know there are a lot of other good players in the building trades, and I hope next year we could see some more teams in the league and open things up a little.
With construction activity so high the last few years, the league was down to eight teams in 2001 - and both the Operators and Millwrights had split squads. At least two more teams would help increase competition in the league.
Following are the final standings, as provided by Liberty Park: Operators Red: 19-4 Electricians: 14-9 Sheet Metal: 14-9 Operators Blue: 13-10 Millwrights Blue: 13-10 Plumbers: 9-14 Carpenters: 7-16 Millwrights Red: 3-20
